Well I am shorting the DOW and hoping for a dip at the end..but I have noticed that Fridays are totally irrational and it may end at a 450 - so I am ready for that too

Imagine wanting to hold a high DOW over the weekend in this scaredy stuff...

I wouldnt - but they do

I have seen it before...

Cable has gone to the pub...I will too in a couple of hours

I had a chat with one of our analysts and tried to think with cool head as well... Well he is bearish as far as he is concerned... He is no god either but at least I have my reassurances that I will leave my shorts as they are long term..

yes this isnt really trend trading is it - more like a doji sitting on a candle with his kimono on fire some days..

betting on which way a fly jumps... hanging in with hope when its going well and baling out when it turns and goes wrong = always selling at a loss in a whippo market like this. Even with strict s/l

we know that - don't we ?

roll on normality -

meanwhile....at the Oanda forum............

quote:Originally posted by gofiodetrigo:
k, what have u heard of the so called "bin laden options" ?

it seems like there's a huge position now open for the SP500 to make a big dip b4 september expires ( 3rd friday, and week b4 next FOMC )

the stake is big in the way of $1B worth loss in case SP500 does not fall between a 30 and a 50%

same for eurostoxx 50 wich would need a fall of 25% in order to get some profits in these positions

Gofio what do u mean here? That if those index puts expire without being exercised at a profit, these players stand to lose $1bn? Are these puts so big that their option premiums to Sept will be $1bn??

If your index put expires without u exercising it, your loss is the premiums you paid. For them to be $1bn your option (given that it is so deeply out of the money right now, with its strike price 30% below or more), must be absolutely H U G E

There might be something suspicious and cynical behind those puts, but in such volatile markets and so many investors caught long equities, I wouldn't rush to assume that anyone who places big, deeply out of the money index puts knows for sure something we don't, related to a huge market crash to take place within the next 2 weeks or a big terrorist attack.

As I said in another thread, deeply out of the money index puts would be a fairly cheap disaster hedge for long equity investors, particularly "real money" accounts like asset managers.
For he that would be deceived, let him.
