    Generating Cash Flow by Selling Calls

    Thank you, that is what the text books say. In the real world it is not the case. Shorting naked calls is less risky and more rewarding than shorting stocks, unless the market takes a nose dive, then the chances are that the stock shorts will outperform the call shorts. Lets look at FDX 110...

    Generating Cash Flow by Selling Calls

    In addition to the Long/Short portfolios in the '50% return' thread I am also generate very good cash flow by selling options. I sell naked calls exlusively, there is a good reason for this. Since I am selling calls I am betting that a stock will not go up alot so I focus on high priced, low...

    50% Annual Returns

    Glad you are sceptical and not a blind follower. I cannot tell anyone what the returns will be in the future and you have no reason to believe me anyway. I suggest you paper trade the complete Long and Short portfolios for at least 6 months and see how it goes.

    50% Annual Returns

    You are correct, the 50% claim was how this thread started and it was just for the longs. The goal of the short portfolio is not to loose in a rising market. Now, remember that the longs were unleveraged, so I use the leverage to invest in the shorts. This doesn't affect the long exposure so the...

    50% Annual Returns

    I never said I make a steady 4% every month, I might not make any money for 3 or 4 months, I might make 10% in one month. Also I don't make 50% every year, so no my friend, it is not "absurd" to say that you must measure the performance over a 6-12 months period. This is not a 'make money quick...

    50% Annual Returns

    LOL My friend you just made me laugh.... That's like saying if I bet the farm on that CKCM trade and didn't get involved in any of the others I would have made 50% return on all my money in 16 days, man I am good. Trading in hindsight is very convenient, "if I had bought Microsoft in the...

    50% Annual Returns

    If you call being down 1.6% on the portfolio 'a hit' you have no business being in the stock market. Not saying that to be mean, just a warning that if that little loss worries you a stock strategy might not be right for your risk tolerance. Expect much larger swings than that in any stock...

    50% Annual Returns

    It is a computer filter that produces a narrow selection of stocks based various fundamental data. I then use a combination of technicals and speculation to decide on which ones to pull the trigger on. The following link describes it better http://www.alphastocks.com/research.html
