Talk:Bull call spread

message: I propose that this page be merged either with Bear call spread or, better yet, Options strategies. Thoughts? Finnancier 10:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the figure is misleading. The long call and short call have very different premiums in general. The drawing could lead to misunderstanding.

thread_title: Figure

message: I made the pix and am wondering what you think is misleading.  If you can explain I'll make a new one that's not misleading.  As far as I know the only 2 principles to look at here are 1) C X1 > C X2 (the call with the lower exercise price should have a premium higher than the call with the higher exercise price; and 2) (C X1 - C X2) < PV (X2 - X1)
(i.e. the difference in call prices is less than the difference in the present values of the exercise prices).  I think the picture fits these 2 limits.  It just means that the grey line on the right hand side of the graph has to be between the axis and the blue line.  Where would you like me to put the line a) lower, b) higher, c) other ____.
Thanks for any input Smallbones 17:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas M. Rees

message: Only true "Congress nerds" are aware of this, but the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress (commonly known as the Bioguide) has gone downhill over the years. Among their recent sins are dropping full names of members and only using the names (including nicknames) by which they're publicly known; also, their final resting places usually are not included in their biographical sketches any longer.
The Bioguide, in its print editions, had a summary section on all the Congresses from the beginning, which doesn't seem to be available online. The footnotes in this section used to indicate when a member who won a special election was sworn in, using the phrase "took his seat." That phrase was later changed, misleadingly, to "became a member of the House."
Despite the Bioguides official status, this is flatly incorrect. That phrase contradicts the text of Rep. Rees's biographical sketch--in the SAME publication--which makes clear that he became a member of the House the day he won his special election, December 15, 1965. He was sworn in on January 10, 1966, and thus began drawing his salary and was able to carry out the duties of the office, but his seniority began the day of the election. Accordingly, I have edited the Infobox.
His State Senate service overlaps with his U.S. House seniority, as his Senate resignation letter is dated for the day before he was sworn into the House, but this is not a problem as he was not required to resign his Senate seat until just before taking the congressional oath. The footnote indicating the resignation letter should adequately explain the overlap. In addition, the California Blue Book indicates that Rees's Senate seat was vacant throughout the 1966 session. https://bioguide.congress.gov/search/bio/R000134 Rontrigger (talk) 01:57, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:A Nice Place to Visit

message: Some original research and unverified facts have been removed from the trivia section.  Justification is given below.  Please discuss if you disagree:
Inspired songs:  The first was an unreleased demo track and probably can't be sourced.  The second is a rare non-album track recorded at a time when - let's face it- Michale pretty much made up the lyrics as he went.  To claim these were inspired by this episode is a stretch and unverifiable.  
Milk commercial:  This has a slightly similar theme to the episode, but so do about a million other things.  There is no evidence that this was in any way influenced by the episode, nor is it likely that a valid source could ever be found.
I have also "fact" tagged some of the other statements that seem more plausible but need citations to verify that they were really influenced by this episode.  Sbacle (talk) 05:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Years ago I remember reading a comic book story I what I think was a EC reprint.  In it a crusading doctor dies and goes to Heaven.

The Devil and two of his minions, tired of the doctor's constant crusading against the conditions in Hell, return him to Earth.  
Waking up in a hospital bed he is told that he was dead for nearly five minutes.  Asked what it (the afterlife) was like the caption reads something 'the doctor's mind returns to the fire pits, and the atmosphere of sulfur' followed by his reply  "It was Heaven."

message: The following is unsourced information:
*The sign above the scaffolding where much of this episode takes place says “HOUGHTON” in honor of Buck Houghton who produced the first three seasons of The Twilight Zone.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source.
