• Q: Alchemy: Is it pure stupidity?
  Well, 100s of years ago they figured out that it IS stupid to try to turn lead
  into gold.
  But ever since March, 2009 we have demonstrated that it has been OK to jump into
  a pile of sh*t and come out smelling like roses.
  Don't push it!

• Q: Strangles (where you buy both puts and calls on the same underlying) are very
  expensive, but have the best odds of profiting when volatility is low, as it is
  now-a-days.
  If you think SPY could go either way: up or down 10% by the end of the year, how
  would you play it?

• A: My bias is that if, as the focus briefly shifts more toward earnings guidance than QE, SPY
  may drop. And whales will buy furiously if SPY drops as low as 110. In that case, SPY Dec
  115 puts could be held until SPY reaches 110, then sold, while holding on to the calls.
  That's just my consideration. What's yours? more

  quantitative easing is getting something of value for nothing.

  or when they break losses are small, and if they hold gains are maximized. more

• Q: What's up with TLAB? Up a lot this week on no news. They have a lot of cash, and
  a lot of broadband for all those smart phones. Is there some takeover
  speculation here? In the past, TLAB has acquired other companies, possibly to
  ward off takeovers.
