    Creative ways to salvage a vertical spread.

    IF I read all of this right, this only works if all of them are in the money - right? IOW, unless it's over $119 you're SOL, right?

    Portfolio margining - what brokers?

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but the posters here seem to be very in-tune with brokerage firms, so here goes... I just became acquainted with the term "portfolio margining" a couple of days ago. My broker (Schwab) does not allow it, and I'm not sure if E-trade...

    Selling covered calls on low cost basis stocks

    Covered calls are no more a loser's game than is any other strategy. It's all about due diligence, risk assessment, and sticking to a good plan. Selling calls on diversified, well-chosen stocks is, IMHO, a very conservative means of wealth building. Now, if one is looking for a stable...

    Thanks for your explanation. How does one trade on the dollar/Euro in a regular brokerage (Schwab, for instance) account? Thank you.

    Say goodbye to the Euro

    Huh? Do I misunderstand you? I thought you were clearly saying that you expect the USD to go UP, not down. Why then the talk of shorting it?

    How I stopped making the same mistakes in 2010 and started to make more money

    A question - what is b/e (break-even?) and what do you mean by "move stop"(ping?) it? Someone else used the phrase "I feel you, though, the HFT causes alot of back and forth PA makes entries difficult..." What is HFT and what is PA? Love your journal. Thank you. btw - I LOVE this...

    Covered Calls?

    KevinO, You have a laudable goal, but you are swinging for the fence rather than being satisfied with a double. The higher rate of return you seek, the higher the risk. You want to make a BIG rate of return? Do some covered calls on a biotech with an upcoming FDA decision. Oh, did I...

    $200 to $2million Calendar Spread Challenge

    Sean, I haven't been here at ET for that long, or read all the many, many threads that exist here, but I would like to compliment you on getting through what seems to be 10 pages of REAL trading information. I just might start one of my own on my favorite thing - covered calls. Best, HtW

    Options Trading Strategy

    Huh? Of course, one can enter a short straddle and take BIGTIME risk on the sale of the short call... Instead, and shhhh - don't tell anyone about this new thing - covered calls. Keep it quiet! Just like a short straddle, and with considerably less risk, in the case of CC's, the time...

    How to research and verify trading ideas

    Thank you for the link! Understand that I was not questioning if the article existed, just stating that I couldn't find it - par for my course, unfortunately. Back to my question though, 1) we are talking about SNT, right? and 2) noting that there is a reference to matters requiring court...

    TalonTrading, your thread is a neat one - I just came across it earlier today and have been doing a LOT of reading. OracleWizard, I'm sorry to hijack this fine (and I do mean that) thread, especially with my first post here, but you started it! You're referring to the company SNT In the...
