Most of the brokers I know have no money (except for taking a check, which they proceed to lose quickly) . Is that the case that most see?  I always wonder how brokers have no money and they think they can tell a client what they should do with theirs?

Many plumbers dont have the best of plumbing at home. Surprising amount of lawyers dont have wills. I know unhealthy doctors who dont take proper care of themselves. Doesnt make them bad at what they do, however. I have used bad personal investment experiences to my clients advantage.  Wont let them make same mistakes.

[quote=howboutshoeshine] The option question is very easy…



Why would a call fall 50-75% in value while the coinciding put does not move?



Now, you can’t google this so I think you’re all screwed!!! I’m sure you’ll call me names like third graders, but I would love an answer.[/quote]



premium priced into calls and puts prior to news.



basis for VIX pricing and it being a measure of risk expectations

knowing how to read options helps any good trader know what the price action will be before the news is announced. This is over your head, but you don't need to know this to be a good advisor. Just making a point. I can appreciate your thought process. Shania, I saw your post about dow 10,000. Sometimes, listening to guys that actually make money in the market ( not your branch manager ) is a good idea. Art Cashin is a great example. I would LMFAO if anyone here tries to dog his credibility.

Who was the bigger fool, the guy that bailed out of the Nasdaq at 3,000 or the guy that round tripped it? The guy that roundtripped it felt pretty smart for 3 months!

No problem. I want to give the answer, but don’t want the " I knew that, but I was ___ at the time" Whether you beleive me, like me, hate me… pay attention to the Cashin statement.

OK thanks.   you really know your stuff.   you must have been trading for years!

I bet those specialists (the ones driving the Ferrars')on the CBO hate to see your orders coming!

The specialists are the smartest of all. Unfortunately, you and I will never be in that club. Wrong last name, college, etc. You have a piece of the option question answered and you don't even know it. FYI.... my orders are meaningless. I'm too lazy and arrogant to help those that need it. When I hear a moron speak to me as if he knows something because he read a book on MPT it makes me cringe! Also, I would never drive a ferrari, I would support my charities more. And no, that is not a jab, there is nothing wrong with spending your hard earned money. That's just not how I would spend it.

[quote=Moraen]Hey gayboy- I mean shoeshine. Back from my extended nooner with your freaky-deaky Mom. Three hours isn’t enough time to look up the answers. Get a new name and try to post more crap. And don’t put your big sister’s laptop on Ed McMahon’s toilet while you’re cleaning it. You’ll keep breaking it.



You are a bigger deushe than I thought. WOW! tricky question. Do you mean dividends.

Here’s a real question. Why were GOOG’s call absolutely slammed today while the puts went nowhere? Now, the market is closed so you already have the answer, but you will have no idea how to answer this!!! I won’t respond to anything else you said because I know your anger comes from frustration.[/quote]



No I didn’t mean dividends dipsh!t. How long did it take you to even develop a question?



I owned you just like your boyfriend did the night before last.



I asked you the first question, you couldn’t answer that. Not to mention there’s no way you didn’t check until 3:18. Remember, you were having fun?



Next piker, please.

So, basically you can’t calculate the DJIA, don’t know which directional bias it has, nor do you know WHY it is that direction?



Basic market knowledge. My daughter knows more about options trading than you from the Options for Dummies book.   Clown.



Sorry. Gay clown.
