indeed, that's why when I made my calculation, I looked at the bid price for the call. I'll have to sell to the bidder. It was 2.85 - 2.95. Ditto for the stock. Cheers !! :)

I just want some inputs on this strategy, e.g. GE : If I bought 100 shares GE, presently trading at $29.20, and sell a call Sep 27.50, asking at this moment $2.85. Excluding commission, I would lock in 9.8% (excluding small dividend in June and Sep) for a period of 5 mths. Worst...

A short zen story : The farmer's daughter is pregnant, and she says the father is the revered zen master of the village. The villagers come to the zen master and throw him stones, insults, blasphemies, and force him to keep the baby. Losing all respects and reputation, the zen master...

Paul, Like Ditch mentionned, real profitable traders will not need your 10K to 15K$. Unless you go with some large broker house, just be careful for individuals who approach you offering their 'services'. I know that Refco hired traders to trade the commodities futures for their...

... yes ... :( ... and I'm afraid that one of those days it will happen again... :mad: Cheers!! :)

Hi Vlad, I use Windows Commander v4.54 and have just tried what you're trying to do, i.e. moving a .txt file from inside a .zip file into another .zip file. You could go to Tucows.com to d/l the shareware version of Windows Commander. I am sure other program such as Norton Commander...

Show a chart that is going down and ask a baby what he sees, he'll say : " down? pipi, kaka... teehee... down... ?" Show the same chart to a trader, and ask the same question, he'll say : "it's going down, however, the RSI and MACD are almost divergence... the supports are not broken yet...

Thanks for the infos, guys. Babak, in one of your post : " ...The k ratio fell to a shockingly low 1.17 on Mar 11 2003 (but it has since recovered slightly)...." What's the k ratio? (sorry for my ignorance) Cheers!! :confused:

Someone could tell me how I could get a list of gold producer companies which do not have a big hedging program, i.e. their stock prices move closely with the gold price. Thanks ! Cheers! :)

I presume it was the one given out last January, as you see the X-div posted is Dec 20. Also, you're right, the Div/shr posted is the annual dividend. ( I am used to stock dividends, I am not very familiar with the SPY and other ETFs' dividends) Cheers! :)

According to Yahoo Finance, the dividend per share is 1.74$ http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=spy&d=c

It's like fishing... You need to have your line in the water all the time. Most of the time you just wasted the whole day, and a few cans of worm... and one day you get the big catch. Cheers !! :)

In my days of overclocking, I always wanted a clear case to see if there was any smoke getting out of my CPU :D . As Alanack mentionned, if you decided to change case, make sure you have the instruction booklet from the mobo, to know where the connections go, e.g. the hardrive connectors...

Frank, Like Jessie said, it takes time to be consistent profitable at trading. I am sure you are very good at your regular job, look back and see how long it took you to get where you are now, a few years for the B.Sc., and another few for the Ph.D., and all that experience gathered through...

Gnome :D Indeed, I used to get help from the internet for trouble shooting, but one time, I wanted to search for something on the net, and realised that my box was wide open with parts here and there ! Doh!! Cheers!! :p

IMHO, it's the MM's running stops and/or shaking out weak hands. Cheers !!:)

alanack, You should get one of those antistatic wrist bracelet, and if you can't find one, avoid working on a rug, touch the metal part of your case before touching any computer parts. If it's the first time building your PC, you'll have a lot of fun :) Do a search on Google for 'how...

it happened to me as well. I was told that if I had funny problems with TSW window, to move it from one screen to the other screen, and back. Don't ask me why, but it worked. You may take a look at this thread... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14346 some...

When I said 'Walter's method'... I should have said 'Walter's analysis, or Walter's signal' (hey! we may have something new here! :p ) When I said 'method', it may be misunderstood as 'system'. A trading system comprises of many TA signals, e.g. a divergence RSI may indicate a...
