The ROR on GC with exchange minimum margin is low now. Hopefully with the margin drop it will get back to a decent level.
I have been able to get RB options on. You just have to be patient. Put in an ask and sometimes will trade. But if you have to bail you will give up a lot to get out.
Hey guys, why don't you borrow me some money. I'm just about all out. Lots of option selling going on here, short corn , live cattle strangle , short copper , I am still short energy(supply and demand thing). Got RB options Friday, I know I have to work on my timing.
Yes , I still have my 310 Dec HO calls. 4 trading days left , am still bearish on Energy in general so see what happens. Also sold a couple of Dec 384 Copper calls. Went down much like you said about RB options, Did not sell for what I wanted , but not too far away.
One thing I place a lot of value in but is not discussed here a lot is Market View/Sentiment. Still bearish because despite Middle East trauma , and other factors price of Oil really hasn't done to much. Up 2.5 , then down 2.5.
Chime in boys , your thoughts and opinions on this little discussed trend indicator.
My take on it is when a bullish or bearish report or event happens and it fails to move the market in a way that something of that magnitude should the market sentiment is that there is more room to move in the prevailing direction so the market will go there regardless of fundamental changes.
Good example is the grains. Sept and Oct USDA reports very bullish , what was the trend in the fall , bearish. Not sure why but that's what it was. In Market Wizards a couple of the traders there discuss it at length.
Happy Thanksgiving to youall (is that a word ).
Yes, i quite like Apple at these prices especially going in to their busiest period of the year.
Dec 550 puts fetch 14.21 which would give a downside protection to 536 if put to and $1420 odd in the pocket if not, for tying up 55,000 or so for a month.
EDIT: This could be a use for some of the excess margin if not currently needed. Especially if using weekly's which would only tie you up for a week at a time.
