Yeah. I believe you need to study the Greeks to get your head around some plays. Wayne would be the expert on that as well :D:D

That's easy.

The theta (time value) is best measured by comparison to the mother.

But the Greeks are one area of study I have had no time in. ;)
 
I have the feeling that Chops must be a closet 'Emo', this talk re :girl: it's so retro it's now post-modern.

Just in case ASF readers don't know what an 'emo' is, I found this on Urbandictionary.com

EMO
An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

:D I've haven't seen a good flame war since TH and Whiskers earlier today :D

Oooooooooooo.... the counter troll.

And in one word, no. Certainly anyone listening to the music I've posted here would know. ;)

Don't mind emo girls, but never properly dated one. ;) There are reasons for thus.
 
No matter how you look at it, marriage is a bad idea. It provides no added benefit in addition to the benefits you get from a de-facto relationship but you have greater entry and exit costs since the average wedding ceremony costs $22,000. The average marriage only lasts for 8 years and then there's a 50 per cent chance of divorce after which you have to pay for divorce lawyers. Then your assets are divided.
 
ha ha ha ha, love the relation to options. Too bad we can't write options on woman hey! Do you want to exercise or let her expire? (or should she just plain exercise) ;) All depends how far 'out of the money' she is. :D

A lot of their worth depends on their volatility and time decay right? So steer clear of latinas and those compulsive tanners/smokers! ;)

On a more serious note, many woman have let themselves go these days.

My grandma often talks of woman she sees around shopping malls with the bellies hanging out of their short tops, and poise and manners being few and far between. I feel sorry for the guys who actually date these woman, seen a few on TV lately.

:jerry:couch
 
but the few who are smokin` certainly make up for the rest who seem to dress in the dark! (or should stay there for that matter)

I don't know if anyone's been reading the 'Gold Price - where is it heading' thread but there's been a lot of talk about 'pie/s' becoming a new commodity.

This is quite relevant to this thread, examples might be:
'I like your pie.'
'Who ate all the pies?' (alternate meaning)

Let's face it: 'pie' is the No 1 commodity that 50% of the population hold. (Most of) the other 50% are trying to get there hands on and accumulate it, regardless of cost.

The biggest pitfall in this kind of trading is the pie-owner who also eats pie or pies; it causes the asset then to depreciate.

New definition of Arbitrage:having a wife and a mistress,but which one are you shorting?
Click to expand...

The mistress is the hedge for the wife. A mistress is a trading proposition and the wife is an investment. Because the wife is a depreciating asset, much like a high yielding term deposit- time eats away at it the principle, but the yield in the form of household duties can be quite significant if the investment is chosen wisely. The mistress is a good hedge against the depreciating capital base of the wife. The only problem with this type of hedge is it leaves you quite vulnerable to a black swan event where the investment and hedge end up running into each other, and you lose your entire capital base in one fell swoop. To help mitigate this type of risk, it's always advisable to try and find a hedge in a non correlated market so that the chances of this happening are lower. Another way of lowering the risk for this type of investment is to purchase a put option in the form of a pre nuptial agreement to help cover the potential catastrophic downside of this type of investment. That way you can be a lot more comfortable running the hedge whilst also enjoying the dividend yield on the investment with a much lower risk of losing your capital base.

I wish you all the best of luck with your investing and trading:)
 
Classic thread.

Marriage IS an unfair contract .... but you can negotiate a fair one under a pre nup ... and if you have any money and believe the 50% divorce rate figures I think you should.

I should post some precedents I have gathered for these ha ha ... save the smarter batchelors 1000 in legal drafting ... and 1000s down the road if it goes pear shaped.

Cohabitation agreements are VERY under utilised ... can be as little as $400 total to put in place to give peace of mind if there is a split. Plus its sort of like a learners guide to prenups or pre nup lite .. plus its a cue to flush the issue out long before marriage is discussed ... and when you still have a tiny bit of negotiating power ha ha.

Yes Im also a marriage bear, and a cunning one at that ha ha.
