What is the difference between a middle split and a straddle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A straddle consists of at-the-money puts and calls that expire on the same date. Strangles consist of out-of-the-money puts and calls that expire on the same date.

Straddles are lower-risk plays than strangles are. You know the stock is going to change price, and if it changes at all one of your options will go in-the-money and can be exercised. (If you've got a stock that really swings back and forth, and you're watching the straddle carefully, it's possible to cash in on both options by exercising them as they go in-the-money.) With a strangle, there's a gap between the two options where both of them are out-of-the-money and it's possible for both options to expire worthless.

The advantage of straddles: the near certainty that one of the two options will go in-the-money.

The advantage of strangles: out-of-the-money options are A LOT cheaper than at-the-money ones. An at-the-money put will run you between 8 and 10 percent of the stock's value--if you're buying an ATM put on Apple, which is over $300 per share right now, you'll pay over $30 per share in premium.

This is another web page by cheerjulia. The elements of cheer leading are stunts, cheers, dances and jumps. The stunts can be easy or complicated! For the youth division, you might learn thigh stands, preps, cradles and twist ups. Others might learn the mummy, twist downs, extensions, ball backs and back hand springs into stunts These all take a lot of hard work. The cheers are very important also! You must focus on your volume ( Turn it up until your lungs break!), speaking clearly and putting the jumps, stunts, and dance moves together with your words. The dance is all about synchronization, how you PUNCH out you motions and the difficulty of the moves. Lastly the jumps are about height, pointing your toes and the difficulty of you jumps. Some jumps are the toe touch, pike, hurdlers and spread eagles. These are just a few of the main elements of cheer leading! Check out my message board and other answered cheer leading and gymnastics questions. Remember, I'm Julia, the cheerleader and gymnast. Put it together it's cheerjulia!

Why do you think cheerleaders are dumb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some may be, but this is just a stereotype. There are smart cheerleaders out there, and don't think that just because you see one that he or she is dumb; it's just a stereotype.

--

Actually, cheerleaders have to maintain a GPA of about a 2.0-2.5 and many have higher GPA's than that... So that cheerleaders are stupid is just a stereotype

--

Im 16 and a cheerleader in out school.Its true if wer stupid and dumb we woulda been kicked out from cheer cause we have to maintain a certain grade like in our school we cant have 2 D's or failures cuz if we do we get kicked out.Some just have to sit out if somethings up.

BUT there are some stupid ones but not in class or anythng just plain girl trying to get attention.

What are the categories of cheerleading?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are three main typed of cheer:

Recreational cheerleading, which is more for local football teams and does not involve much skill at all. you can do this without having any experience.

Allstar Cheerleading, which is for people who really have a desire to cheer. This type of cheer is not cheap. Allstar cheer involves alot (tumbling, jumps, dance, stunting). At least, a basic understanding of cheerleading would help if you are pursuing allstar cheer. There are 5 levels for allstar cheer.

College/Highschool Cheer, which is for well, high school and college kids. Some high schools and colleges offer a competition team, but most offer atleast a more recreational team. Sometimes these teams tumble, but if it is recreational and not as intense, they mostly cheer and stunt. Competitive college teams have another level (level 6).

How do you put in a cheerleading bow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

before you try it you need to stretch your left leg ALOT ! when you are flexible enouph you kick your left leg up kind of to your head and catch your foot at the top. so it almost look like you are holding your foot at first. then , you put your right hand on your left foot with your fingers facing forward, once you grip your left foot well you can put your left hand (the hand that was holding the foot first ) and slip your hand in front of your leg and pull your leg close to the left side of your head. it should turn out looking like your hand and left leg making the shape of a bow and arrow.some cheerleaders just put their hand in the back of their leg and hold it out if they arent flexible enouph to do it the right way yet. (other way is more impressive)

*make sure to put that right hand in front and hold your arm out and usually spread your fingers, point, or make a fist)

How can you make it in cheer tryouts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

to pass the tryouts, practice, practice, practice. also make sure of the following things:

  • MOTIONS: Tight, sharp motions. no spaghetti arms, no loose wrists, hands in fists/blades, tight knees, punch the motions.
  • JUMPS: the thing that makes a jump look good is the sharpness and tightness of the jump. tight arms, straight legs and pointed toes. before you start the jump, go on your toes to get the height and balance. no arms flying everywhere, keep your head and torso up, and make sure to land on your toes and roll off the balls of your feet to reduce the noise and the risk of ankle injuries. the landing position is a squatting position. always clean. don't loose balance on the landing.
  • DANCING: Tight, sharp motions, rhythm, facials...
  • CHEERING: tight, sharp motions. project your voice. don't scream, and don't whisper. you should be getting the air from your stomach and using your voice from there.
  • STUNTING: everyone in the group should show strength and stability, as well as flexibility. no talking/laughing while stunting, and all should be working together.
  • TUMBLERS: get a good, clean running start. straight legs and pointed toes. don't loose balance on the landing. always clean.
  • ALWAYS SMILE!!!! nobody likes a dead cheerleader. always show enthusiasm and smiles!! as a matter of fact, that is the most important thing in cheerleading. ;)

Asked by Wiki User

it depends where u want to cheer. for grade school squads a back handspring is not required. however, once u get into the high school level it depends on whether the squad competes or not. in college a back handspring is most likely going to be required, if not something greater, such as a round off back handspring back tuck or layout
