excellent, thanks for that Profitaker - really appreciate it and definitely important to understand! Nice signature too ;) Osc.

Thanks for the reply Grant, interesting reading. MAB fairly collapsed today (down 3.5%) so I'll probably go long the stock instead of calls tomorrow and see how things go from there. I'm amazed at how poor the liquidity is in the options, compared to even the most wacky US stuff there's very...

Following Cazenove saying that MAB could come to a deal regarding their property I thought I might load up on calls, but now it seems (having actually looked into it!) that this might not be the best strategy because if they issue a special dividend of 30/40% then the calls will be adjusted...

Hi guys, I have a quick question that I'd appreciate a bit of help with... I am hoping that a company I was investing in are going to issue a rather large special dividend... I thought the best way to make the most of this would be to leverage myself up by buying plenty of Calls ... but reading...

some great questions, I'll bump you up!

quick question guys, and sorry for being a bit off-topic, but I spend plenty of time lurking on this thread! Do any of you use your mobiles to keep up to date with the prices? I don't really want to be able to trade, just keep track of things - is their any site/software that works reasonably...

hmmmm, that was a bit of an anti-climax!!

OT Are you working in Ireland as a trader Delmonico, or on the side? Do you trade through an Irish firm? - hardly, I'm guessing, they all seem to be rip-off merchants to me, but would be interested if there was a good crowd I didn't know of?

But if you have to live in it then you need to sell and find somewhere else to live - which will have gone up too. Unless you're willing to cash in the chips and rent then all "profits" are imaginary. If you want to see a property market that's really bubbled beyond belief (nice alliteration...

cheers mate. anybody now if there's options traded on MNU on LIFFE or somewhere like that?

hi guys, just a simple question, is there somewhere I could buy or see prices on options/futures on Manchester United (MNU) .... thanks very much, TGT.

poorly. The math wasn't too tough but I didn't do myself justice with it, all probability based questions... I'd do much better now, knowing what to expect...but I guess you could say that about most things ;) TGT.

b*gger, I thought it'd be something like that, better get a bit of practice in then! - I'm not bad at the mental stuff, but no *super-whizz* either... I've been told to expect plenty of probability stuff too... so we'll see ;)... -TGT

hi Guys, been surfing this forum on the quiet for many months now and have learned much... I now have a chance to move into trading 'professionally' through an interview I have for an "Assistant Trader" position with Susquehanna SIG - I was just wondering if anyone here has experience of the...
