Hi, I'm not a particular fan of covered calls, but was pointed to this blog post: http://www.callwriter.com/blog/2007/03/05/new-riskless-covered-call-strategy/ It's John Brasher's blog and of course he is trying to pull in some seminar business, but the concept intrigued me. I would love...

Indeed. It pays to keep an open mind. However, (and I'm trying to be as diplomatic as possible :) ) the idea that adjusting a BCS inherently more costly because of a greater number of commissions/slippage is clearly incorrect. Whatever strikes are rolled, in either strategy, will cost the...

4Q, Thats no different to a collar. There are still 4 trades (assuming both the sold and bought strike are rolled) There is also no reason why one leg only is rolled in either strategy. That point is just not valid. The fact that the collar contains stock is irrelevant (save for the...

It's become an exercise in futility. The "guru" refuses to acknowledge that verticals can be adjusted. This of course is now accepted as gospel. Un-xxxxing-believable

Heated? Lol. That just how we say G'day where I'm from. It was all just lighthearted stuff DB :D

At least its not as ludicrous as the mob down here in Oz. To paraphrase: I kid you not!

'nuff said. lol :D

This is a >10% return per month compounded on average... with a collar? Hence my suspicion, rolling calls or not. So it's not verifiied anywhere?

Regarding these Peter Achs collars: It has been claimed that he turned 30k into 1.4 mil in 3 years trading collars on BBY. I can't find any verification of this. Is this substantiated somewhere with trading records, or is this something that can be regarded as apocryphal? Just wondering...

Right! Pick a subject, ten paces and it's on :D By the way... F... you too :D

Arguing with a brown-tongue is not worth the effort. Ciao:p

Hey DB Looks like most questions are already answered. About the non-sequitur, you are quite wrong, I am here to learn, and have picked up a lot from this discussion. I find the best knowledge is gleaned when shots are fired in anger, as shown in this thread and the O. thread. Kudos to...

Daddysboy I have been subjected to sniping from antiadhominem aka djsmum aka mumtrader for several days now. As she decided to post her poisonous invective here, I believed I had the right to reply. I have already stated my beef with optionetics, which has not been refuted, (because it...

Hi mumtrader, Nice of you to visit. :p Do you realise you continuously hoist yourself by your own petard over there? It's comical lol. Your head is so far up S's backside you don't see the fool you make of yourself. When you know something, come back to ASF and debate me on...

Let me be the first to admit that I have indulged in some gross silliness on various forums, but it is always with the implicit permission (as evidenced by return silliness) of my "victim", and never during a serious discussion on strategy or whatever. But the puerility I have witnessed from...

Because from what I have seen, a lot of what they teach is erroneous, and they charge an aweful lot for it. Admittedly, this is confined to one of their sales seminars, but the guy was saying was utter tosh. Now we have the "lazy collar" being promoted as some magic wealth formula FFS...

That's very conciliatory of you Wayne. Judging by the latest couple of comments over there, it is unlikely to be reciprocated. lol However, my observation is that better answers come from those without any particular commercial agenda. That makes a forum such as this far better than the...

So this where we are at as I see it: WE can strip away the short call leg of both strategies because is is the SAME call. That leaves us with the natural long call verses the synthetic as the "REAL" comparison. So the only difference here is that we pay the cost of carry up front when...

When are their "heavyweights" going to show up? One sided contest so far.

Very good post over there Mav. Let's hope they are sensible and leave the ad hominem attacks for schoolkids.
