Playing strategy is funny sometimes....

Posted by: Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) (a.k.a mrbinns) on Jul 06, 10:12

Early exit polling shows a marked preference of SHORT for OW.  Fine.  You think it will do less than 15.  Current pricing would break even at 5.56.

But the same voters are voting for the CALL which has a break even point of 17.  (15 plus the cost of H$2)  These are related occurrances.

If you think it will not make 15, then why buy a CALL.  You may be right, I may  be crazy.  But it is a weird hedge of bet. 

Of ciurse, the majority of voters have voted to buy the PUT which is consistant. 

Just remember, you are allowed to short any or all of them if you think that the deriviatives are overpriced.

It follows the natural/usual pattern - no surprises on the poohster derivs {nm} Facto Jul 06, 10:20

What kind of strategy can you play when a stock goes up pennies with millions of shares being sold and then drops dollars when a few hundred secretstalker Jul 06, 10:31

yeah, for awhile now there has been no way to gauge the patterns. you either hold for the long run or get in with the peeps causing lobogotti Jul 06, 10:39

I'm going for the ripples. WTH? If you can't beat 'em, right? haha. {nm} Juiced Jul 06, 10:42

you have to be glued on here to do that....so I try and avoid playing that way. the volatility scares me. {nm} lobogotti Jul 06, 10:48

Yea, true but I'm in the office today so I might as well experiment. Worst case I just eat the commission and move on. {nm} Juiced Jul 06, 10:50

I hear you... I'm sticking to sure things as I've been doing, it's working just fine... {nm} slappydavid Jul 06, 10:53

sure things exist? {nm} autobot66 Jul 06, 11:13

Yes, more predictable things at least, less volatile... Bonds, funds, derivatives, openers, and stocks affected by news... :) {nm} slappydavid Jul 06, 12:00

If we were using real money there would be mass suicides on the trading floor this week. {nm} Nightfury82 Jul 06, 10:51

Haha. Daytraders(with real money) must have iron wills and tested patience not to panic. {nm} Juiced Jul 06, 10:56
