I saw BLO get in a few jams over the years... don't know what eventually happened to him post-floor.

People always ask me, "Why do you describe yourself as an option whore? Always buying gamma?!?" Because, I can quantify the risk, I'll lose small for 15-24 months, and then that ONE month happens and I own the firm. I know I'm in the minority. As a derivative risk manager, I see an option seller to buyer ratio of 200:1 Strange that 4 of the 7 largest traders, that all pre-date my time here, are premium buyer, strange right?

After NYC we drove to VT to see a friend (and had a crazy pizza experience I'll tell ya about later #IYKYK). Old school brewpubs still cranking out great beers up there.

Park City gets a S’mores Sleigh, while Vail gets an Ice Bar & 2-Martini Lunch. Sounds about right.

Somebody out there hates bean gamma in a way I can't understand. Not a recommendation. Futures and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and isn't suitable for everyone. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
