Hi Toofuzzy, I understand what you are saying; however, one does not want to get into a position that is at risk of disappearing for any reason so looking at the parameters, even if you like the position, is key to long term success.
I didn't look in enough detail to realize that XIV could be closed so I lost a bit over $150, not a biggie, but that is an amount for an EXCELLENT dinner out with my partner, so, while it is not even 0.005% of my positions total, it still is missed.
But I did learn from this to better investigate potential positions to place my ~60% cash reserves when it seems appropriate so I won't run out of cash should the market be bitten by a Grizzly Bear.
