WOW!

It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.
If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money. Especially what I say. I won't be held responsible. Festina lente.

Last year at some point during an /ES contract roll, ben managed to get the number of SPX contracts GS rolled...

I don't remember the exact number, but they were gaining/loosing $4 million per tick. [Edit: Per /ES tick... of course they were dealing with the big contracts, I just converted it to /ES so it would be clear to people used to trading /ES.]

No volume on these ... they're zeroes at this point. Suck it, Goldie.

****in' perma-bears.

Pat, do you have any advice on trading options on SPX versus those on SPY? SPY seems to have higher volumes and OI, and 1 extra day to trade.

Edit: Yikes, some of the SPX options have terribly low OI and large spreads. I think I'm sticking with the SPYs, even with the price delta from SPX. SPX options look like a good way to get tooled -- imagine if they execute, at $1370 a share! A margin call for the ages.
