Re: The Evolution of the Social Media API

Avalon — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:43:10 -0000

Since I'm completely non-techie, are there people/companies out there that create these API's, and how much would it cost to hire someone to create an API?

Re: HOW TO: Use Social Media for Travel Research

Avalon — Thu, 21 May 2009 08:02:36 -0000

I joined WorldVentures, a travel club. Like Costco, the company buys the rooms/cabins in bulk and then plans Dreamtrips for it's members. I went on a $79 3 night Bahamas cruise last summer (and no I didn't have to sleep in the life raft) IThe best part is that it's a network marketing company, so if you refer 6 people your club membership is free for life. Now THATS social networking.

Re: HOW TO: Create and Share a Twittrlist of Your Favorite Tweets

What makes a tweet "good" or "bad"? Makes me think of the old saying...."Sex is like Pizza, even when it's bad, it's good" .....or was it the other way around....

SOH is terribly addicting. I'm considering a twelve step program.

Are you a technical trader or a fundamental investor? Fear and greed trump fundamentals every time.

I bought the March 40 calls cuz the spread on the higher strikes was too wide and I didn't wanna have to deal with too much theta burn on OTM ones. I'm gonna sell 25% of my positions now.

Avalon — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:24:02 -0000

If you trade on TOS, the theta is listed for every option. For example, March 40 calls have theta of .37, so you lose $37 overnight

No disagreements here... but you have to have the margin available to buy the underlying correct?

Im still holding the 2March 60 puts from Friday, also still holding the 1 March 60 naked call at the same time.
The 1 Naked Call is four times as more profitable than the put.
Screw puts, selling naked from now on.
