Here are some basic rules and guidelines to follow with calendar trades:

1. Always check the P/L graph before placing the trade. You can use your broker tools or some free software. I generated the P/L graph using the OptionsOracle software.


2. Avoid trading through dividends date.


3. Avoid trading through major news like earnings announcements. The only exception to that rule is when you want to take advantage of the inflated IV of the front month, but those are highly speculative trades which might have a significant loss if the stock has a large post-earnings move.


4. The front month options should expire in 5-7 weeks.


5. Have an exit plan before you enter the trade. My profit target is typically 20-30% and my mental stop loss is around 15-20%.


6. If the stock reaches one of the break-even points, I would typically adjust by opening another calendar spread around the current price, converting it to a double calendar.


7. Trade stocks which are in a range or having a positive volatility skew (front month IV is higher than back month).


8. Never hold through the expiration week of the front month to avoid the gamma risk.


9. Most of the time, placing the trade with puts will be cheaper than with calls.


10. Most of the time calendar spreads work better when IV is low. Those are vega positive trades which means they benefit from increase in IV.

**buy a call calendar spread above the current price or buy a put calendar below the current price

Page Breaks in SSRS based on column values. -
When you click on the table, a list of icons appears on the left hand side of your table, showing what row you are on - for example, the detail row look like three horizontal lines. Right-click this and select "Insert group". This will create a row for the group header above the detail row and the group footer below the detail row. Group headers are good for titles and group footers are good for summing the values displayed in the details section. Select the field to group on (Column Name) and check the "Page break at end" checkbox and you're done.

What if someone doesn't have health coverage in 2014?

The fee in 2014 and beyond

The fee in 2014 is 1% of your yearly income or $95 per person for the year, whichever is higher. The fee increases every year. In 2016 it is 2.5% of income or $695 per person, whichever is higher.

In 2014 the fee for uninsured children is $47.50 per child. The most a family would have to pay in 2014 is $285.

It's important to remember that someone who pays the fee won't get any health insurance coverage. They still will be responsible for 100% of the cost of their medical care.

After open enrollment ends on March 31, 2014, they won't be able to get health coverage through the Marketplace until the next annual enrollment period, unless they have aqualifying life event.

Bartending - Pour counting is a skill that comes with time and practice. A one count pour is generally equal to 1/4 an ounce of liquor, thus you can pour one ounce drinks (4 counts) or doubles (8 Counts) Different liquors also pour at different rates. While vodka pours fairly freely a chilled bottle of rumpleminz will pour slower. The easiest way to practice is to take a bottle and pour spout, pour .5 ounces, 1 ounce, 1.5 ounce and 2 ounce shots in a mixing tin separately. Then using a jigger (a bar tool for measuring specific ounces of liquor) pour the contents of the shakers into it to determine if you are pouring heavy or light. If you are over pouring you are counting too slow, if under-pouring too fast. The more you pour the better feel you get with each liquor and the better your pour counts will be. Once you have .5 per count down you can pour anything. The recipes and amount of alcohol will differ from bar to bar and from state to state (At my bar it is 1.25 ounces for a single and 2 ounces for a double)

Random Dream.

Handball court. Playing with Connie as opponents.

Drinking avocado ice from a cocktail shaker.

Carried over to my bedroom. Playing hb on my room wall closet. My teammate talking to Connie teammate about other stuff causing many pauses in the game. Connie requested a break. Connie teammate was talking to My teammate about contact lens so I decided to talk to Connie. It was a but awkward at first bur I did so. I ask her how she was doing and got a little personal. I over heard her make a work related call... she sound really professional.  We talk, then flirted. she was under a blanket and I rolled over her and tickled her stomach. She accepted it. For some reason I saw her pink bra underneath her as she pooped up from the tickle. Her mom suddenly popped out and she was telling me stories about her daughters including Elisa.  How they have attitude of an ox. And her husband is Italian. During the convo she had her eyes wide open eating a oeach with a knife. Shortly I realized she is blind and confirmed with Connie. I complimented on her daughters and how good their chinese was. Connie pointed out that she didnt do to Chinese school abd her sister did. I told her thats cheating. have to Learning on your own. She was also trying to stand out by saying stuff like shes more friendly and funnier than her sister.. I played along even though I think her sister is funnier, prettier,  and nicer. I was eager to ask a desiring question... connie why did you say "why him" when i first met you the first time when i was dating your sister? I dont remember if i asked or what her response was. Im not even sure if that really happened in real life.. but thinking back now... thered A gut feeling that really happened in real life and it floating somewhere in my unconscious mind. Then I walked downstairs to the kitchen.  My mom was there.  Asked if I want food. Super weird. While everything was absorbing in.. I realized they were my new tenants but moved away the next day. Sadly and questioning the whole situation how this can happen ..haven't question if this is a dream... which I am pretty good at identifying by this stage. I wasnt sure of theres more before I woke up... but the buring question I have is why Connie. .. haven't really talk to her in real life at all and why am I so caught up on "why him" has that scared me for life of it did really happpen?

Is the seller liable to pay commission if seller no longer want to sell?

If the seller refuses to sell the real estate when one of the above two conditions applies, it is typically considered that the real estate agent has done their job of finding a satisfactory buyer and the seller must still pay the commission, although the details are determined by the listing contract. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listing_contract
