Mail Call: Listener questions and comments
- Comment from Dmitry Shesterin - @Options There is no V in the Greek alphabet, so how come Vega is considered a "Greek"? Who started this madness?
- Question from Brian Collamer - Do OTM options decay the fastest at 60-70 days and then kind of flatten out?? Great show, wish it was longer! Thanks, Brian
- Question from Charles Patterson - Is it accurate to describe delta as the probability of an option expiring in the money?
- Question from Rohan - Do you think it is viable for an active retail trader to become a professional retail trader using primarily the freely available tools from OX and other retail brokers? How viable is that in the current environment? Would I always be at a disadvantage from the pros picking me off? Is this just a pipe dream? How much would you say the average pro trader needs to make to be viable? Thanks again for all of the great programs you guys have put out for free.
- Question from AVG - I heard Dan Passarelli talking about Goldman telling people it's not worth it to sell S&P puts anymore. Do you guys agree with that sentiment?
