To save myself some time, I’m just writing this tweet and pinning it: “Did you see the latest headline/clip/quote/tweet/idea from some public servant?”

@ckleene @ottoscholl I’ll make a market on just about anything. You may not like its width or its size, but I’ll make the market.

Always standing ready to confidently make a two-sided was a core tenet of becoming an option market maker on the CBOE when I started. It was a point of pride, and a concept I have integrated into my worldview. As the saying goes: “Often right, sometimes wrong, but never in doubt.” The forced honesty and integrity of a two-sided market (even a wide one) is something to behold.

@ottoscholl I was told and taught early in my career to always have a bid and always have an ask…one or the other might not be realistic but like you guys said, always have a number.

@TheGrainiac I think the evil speculators have “never seen a stalk of corn in their life.” While the benevolent speculators grow it and are subsidized by the government to bet on higher prices. At least, that’s what I’ve come to understand on NewAgTalk and GMD.

How do I know the difference between the evil speculator and the benevolent speculator? Is there handshake?

Getting the chance to do something and actually doing it are two different things. I’ve heard lots of producers say, “If I hold on, I’ll probably have a chance to sell it higher.” That statement (and its opposite about a chance to sell lower) are probably fairly true most of the time, markets usually bounce around enough to make both true. I rarely see them actually sell it higher unless they’re guided by a disciplined strategy. That’s because the relative truth of “I’ll probably have a chance to sell it higher.” is actually a trap in bull and bear markets. In bull markets it’s the thought that watches the top come and go. Worse, in bear markets it’s the thought that keeps one in a bad position far too long as losses build. When marketing and managing risk, you should be far more concerned about what can go wrong than what can go right. You’ve already (conceivably) gotten your edge through your operation, marketing and risk management should protect that edge.

I remember this day well. I was volunteering with wifey on our honeymoon. I distinctly remember dumping puts in my IRA, while stapling chicken wire onto rabbit hutches at the Best Friends animal shelter outside of Zion National Park in Utah. Hearing this call makes me miss the floor so much.

Turn your volume up for this one. This is real audio from the S&P 500 futures pit at the CME during the Flash Crash of 2010. On May 6, 2010, markets were already having a rough day, down over 300 points on worries about the Greece debt crisis. Later, the bottom fell out. The Dow dropped another 600 points in about 5 minutes. Nearly 1,000 points gone on the day. About 9%, kaboom. Then 20 minutes later, most of it came right back. This clip never gets old.

I was in Japan for a ski trip a few years back. On our last night in Tokyo we were hungry for some burgers. The concierge gave us directions to an “American” bar. The menu said “double half pound burger” which @jcknower and I took to mean a double quarter pounder. It was two half-pound patties and a mountain of fries. To his credit, Jay finished, but he also defiled a Tokyo subway station bathroom that will never be the same.
