no argument with anything but the "outlier" paragraph. normally i would agree with that, too, but in this case the outlier is a derivative meltdown. options are derivatives. the other side of your long options is JPM. how exactly does one collect in case of being right? Taleb has made a persuasive case that outliers don't lie near as far out as "we" generally seem to think, for sure there's a strategy to profit from that. takes an iron constitution to last through the death by a thousand cuts though.
