I couldn't agree more. But should we discount fundamental analysis completely? The successful trader knows how to filter noise and discard the rubbish. The really successul trader does this with his emotions in check. All to often in the past I have let my ego filter this information, only to...

Thanks for that. I've actually got my threads mixed up, saw the reference on the other thread. Apologies all. FYI, I received a private message to say it was a great thread! Cheers

Soc, you referred to a thread you have previously done called "Journey from the Basement". Can you paste the link, or direct me to the correct location on this site. Thanks:)

It's posts like this, that keep bringing me back! Sometimes, I really do enjoy your posts CYOF, but there must be a better way to filter the noise. I did have a good laugh at the exam questions, intelligent answers in their own little way.

You can add my name to that list. The sooner we get 16 names the sooner CY might let go. Only jumped onto this thread yesterday so still catching up! Enjoyed your first couple o' posts CY, love a riddle now and again, but really finding it quite tedious to find the gems! I suppose the path you...

Profitaker, If you are selling call options from day dot, (1900) and I am buying them from you since day dot; and let 's assume there is no market maker in the middle taking a piece of the action; then I believe I would have the edge because the market has been progressively bullish since 1900...

CYOF, Thanks for you enlightenment, A novice trader!

Profitaker! Hungry for an answer, if there is one! Having had a good look at all historical data, it's all bullish. Sure there are some bear markets along the way, but the trend line since 1900 says "bull". Isn't this the edge?

"Options are priced on the basis that markets are random. That is why no matter how far a stock or index has tanked (or rallied) the price of a call will be exactly the same as a put of the same strike. In other words, the options market prices in a move in either direction as 50/50"...

CYOF, Happy to engage in dialogue. Not sure what the difference is between science and art? Perhaps the same difference between an idiot and a genius? Or do you belive in God or the Universe? Maybe its the same thing. Thats what I believe; there is no differnce; science and art strive to...

All the data necessary to categorically determine the writer/buyer debate is freely available, and it ain't that difficult run the calcs. To be honest, I'm not an experienced trader that can run the algorithms necessary to run the calcs. If as you say, the data is freely available, why isn't...

Being the most recent member, perhaps a couple of days now, and following this thread, it is wonderful to eventually hear such wisdom about the 'law of attaction'. The pendululm swings in roundabouts, as ever. So tell me CYOF, is trading a science or is it an art? Perhaps the answer to this...
