The data plan is totally worth it since you dont need an internet connection and then you can browse forums while you wait for someone to stop talking.

Im usually too dumb for interesting strategies, but a friend of mine is doing covered called on KBH with APR 15s. Or something like that. They report right after expiration.

It's really not that fancy of a trade. In a calendar you sell the front month and hedge with a later month at the same strike. Idea is that you get paid time decay on the closer expiration while paying less on the the latter. They can work well in situations like NVDA today where the front-month is close to expiration, but the earnings lead-up sends IV through the roof. A double-calendar is just putting on two calendars with different strikes. If none of that seems intriguing it also has the advantage of looking like a circus tent:  That graph is misleading on the degree of upside, since the trade's long vega and both the March contracts will suffer a vol crush right alongside the ones for Feb.

If the vol crush affects both months (though not equally I know), is the difference in time decay really worth the trade? I know that one decays more than the other, but that difference over just one day must be relatively negligible. I wonder if anybody knew what you meant by big top before you posted that chart!

The goal of a calendar spread is its lottery ticket function. If the first option expires worthless and the second one winds up in the money, you reap enormous rewards based on paying a very small amount of money.

Why would a gap like this have happened in something so heavily and continuously traded as EUR/USD? 30S chart. Around 10:30pm PST.

Nifty posted:If the vol crush affects both months (though not equally I know), is the difference in time decay really worth the trade?

Right now the theta anchor on the Feb 24 puts is 3x that of the March 24s (the Feb 21s essentially no longer exist). As for the vol crush, the IV of the Feb 24 puts was like 137% while for the March contracts it was ~67%. Today the Febs have an IV of 58% and March is at 51% so my short vega position benefited more than my long vega position suffered. BTW this isn't normal, usually front-month options have a lower IV than later-dated options, it was just the earnings expectation that reversed them.

Josh Lyman posted:If you think that's bad, I specifically thought about buying CLF upside calls yesterday before earnings. 95's were 1.35 and 100's were .31. No, I think mine's still worse. Valuing bonds gives a lot more certainty than playing earnings. Or so my other bond purchases have led me to believe.

Do agriculture stocks rise with food prices the same way mining companies rise with metal prices? I bought CORN last week but I'm really unfamiliar with this part of the market. Also hows shorting PMs working out for everyone??

Any thoughts on GLW? I'm up over 15%, but I don't see it dropping with the way mobile devices and tablets are going and its good P/E ratio right now. Any inclinations that it could be peaking besides its at its 52 week high?

What do you all think about KO? It's undervalued, but will increasing commodity prices force it to raise prices and thus lose business?

I am under the impression that you would be buying KO for the dividend, aside from acquiring whatever specialty drink makers it can, it does not have huge growth prospects. Edit: Its a solid company, its not going anywhere, the dividend is solid, you could take it into retirement. lightpole fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Feb 18, 2011 |

Your risk with Ag producers is that you're exposed to weather effecting crop yields, a crappy harvest will push down Producers, and push up prices. If you're betting on rising food prices you may want to think about the commodity directly.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering what good stocks are out there with longterm stability and solid dividends? What suggestions do you guys have, and what should I be looking for? I know the safe bet is generally utilities, are there any standout ones? My investment journey began when I turned 18 and bought C, then watched in horror as my first and only stock bottomed out to a dollar, so I'm kind of skittish when it comes to direct stock investing.

I like CEFs, check CEFConnect.com or CEFA.com There are a lot that even pay tax free monthly dividends that are based on bonds that can get north of 5% easy.
