SELL -xx VERTICAL BRCM MAY12 28/20 PUT @.40 LMT GTC (turned it into a vertical to reduce capital charge by my broker). Nice idea, hoping for a fill.

Hi Dan, Nice idea. I am trying it this way: BUY +Xqty VERTICAL CAT MAR12 125/120 PUT @4.10 LMT GTC CBOE [TO OPEN/TO OPEN](bear put debit spread). (equiv to $0.90 bear call credit spread). Just wondering, do you favor credits over debits, and why? Thanks. Ray

Re: CBOE Special Feature: SPXPM vs. SPY Options

Bid / ASKED spreads seem whacked. SPXPM. If a trading market develops for this, in theory, this should be a good vehicle. There are some nice advantages here (good article!), so I hope the market develops to a point where these options are actively traded. Would love to use this as a SPY alternative, and even Futures hedging alterntive.

Looking at a minute chart, it traded at 311 for a bit, right up to 759pm, then at 8pm went to 298. Last trade 298 800pm. Seems strange, probably wrong. We'll have to watch pre-market. Has nothing to do with the bid/ask. Wish I bot 298!

I do. The site is is very comprehensive, and Kirk's approach is very logical and thoughtful. He is well respected by the trading community.
He no longer publishes his trades/results and explains why on the site. I miss seeing his trades and explanation. Enjoy.

Guess I have to re-think my potential long in SDA! I have been trying to buy at a lower price. What is your target low for your potential short?

For quite a while, but the last 6-12 months, just about full-time. How about yourself?

I am new here. Been following the site for about a year, never posted.
I am trying to signup/subscribe to TA.

this link pops up on firefox: https://ssl.clickbank.net/o...
and I get a message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ssl.clickbank.net."

Tried IE, and I get this: http://1.tallc.pay.clickban... in browser with "The page cannot be displayed" as the message.
Tried Friday and today.
Is there a problem, or is there another way to subscribe? I would like to join, I think your site is one of the best sites out there. Please advise.
