from your profile <<Why don't birthdays count down, so we know how much time we have left? It would sure help understanding of intrinsic and time value.>> That's a solid question:) One i have been pondering lately as i have hit the above 60 level.As a smoker with a sister who went from rock solid healthy to 60lbs and a coma then death in a period of months from a very aggressive stage 4 lung cancer(Oatcell--also known as the smokers cancer, as only smokers or ex-smokers get it).
So i at 61 have a intrinsic value of perhaps just one, i am definitely a go heavy on the puts, and am highly shortable, as i probably am stashed with toxic convertibles:)
One day you are just fine, and then a dry hack, then an MRI and then sayonara (a dreadful sayonara.)
So, as a fatalist i am going on a "i got one year left" scenario.And i find that actually makes each moment "a trip"
BTW, this is a post to tell those that don't smoke, keep it that way.
