Well, I have been lucky lately but when things do not turn as desired, I really bleed... I am not quick enough to close my bad bets and too early to close my winning bets..
In my case, 1 bad bet is equivalent of 10 or so good bets.. VXX short calls last year is a prime example.. made decent money ( 6 figure) on multiple short naked calls and lost even more on two short naked calls...

Hopefully, these traders are right... ----- April 5 (Reuters) - Option players appear to be betting on higher U.S. Treasury yields as Federal Reserve policymakers appear less likely to add more monetary stimulus to keep short term interest rates low. Options volume this week was heavily tilted in favor of put options in the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond fund, or TLT while call turnover increased in the Proshares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury Fund. The activity in both suggest that investors are positioning for higher long-dated yields. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's March policy meeting released Tuesday suggested fewer Fed policymakers felt the need for more bond purchases soon to bolster the U.S. economy than back in January. This led to a broad market sell-off on Wall Street with prices of the 30-year Treasury bond falling more than one full point. On Thursday, 30-year Treasury prices gained 19/32 to drop the yield to 3.32 percent. T he yield on the 30-year closed at 3.48 percent on March 19, which was the highest since September 2011. "We have seen a lot of put buying on TLT and call buying on TBT," said Joe Bell, senior equity analyst at options research firm Schaeffer's Investment Research. www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/05/bonds-options-etfs-idUSL2E8F59R020120405?type=companyNews&feedType=RSS&feedName=companyNews&rpc=43 |

Expecting market to tank is what it says to me if that was the case, TLT would have been up today on a down day.. my logic seems to be flawed... after fin. meeting last tue, i saw low probability of QE3, which should result in a increase in yield and lowering of the bond price.. that has not happened so far... I am new to the whole bond market so i am sure there is far more to this. |
