Thank you for providing an example of what a bigot pretending to be smart sounds like. Now we all know what to look out for and combat.

Neither of those are what I was thinking of, but thanks for thinking about it for a minute.
I have season tickets for the local sports teams. I don't really make money selling the tickets, but I wouldn't buy them if I couldn't sell or give away the tickets whenever I wanted.
haha, your roadblock is awesome
Re:Ask HN: How best to cook a steak? on Tuesday March 19, 2013 @07:32PM (#5404400)
careful - don't over heat the skillet. 500 is past olive oil's smoking point (especially the olive oil you are likely to have at home). Canola oil's smoking point is higher.

that being said, cast iron skillet is the way to go and is quite easy. just don't fill your place with smoke.

pretty cool idea and the site looks sharp. I think you should make the video easier to find. The only reason I found it is because I looked extra hard for it before commenting and saying: make a video or something so I can see how it works without signing in.

Re:Basic Option Strategies, Part 2 - Options Pricing on Monday November 19, 2012 @10:52PM (#4807656)
Professional options traders prey on ineffiecent markets, never curse them. Beta and CAPM literally have nothing to do with options trading, pricing, or theory. VAR, like all models, is a trap. Options traders would know this; they are ingrained with a deep distrust of models since they forced to use them all day every day and understand their appropriate uses and limitations. It would be unreasonable to expect any serious options trader to blame her model or worse, "all of it", for failure.

This one is the best:

http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Hedging-Managing-Vanilla-Optio...

The first thirty or so pages offer the most intuitive introduction to vanillas I've read. The middle is must read, and the end gets into exotics if that's your fancy.

This doesn't really make sense, or have much to do with options trading, pricing, or theory. Kind of a cool narrative, though.
yeah, and the inability to just decided to earn 100K+/yr "on the side" should not discourage people from going to college. just make sure you actually learn something.
