    What's Your Greatest Challenge.....

    Wish I could develop a software to scan the stock market for weekly and intraday charts using my parameters. But since I can't do that yet, I resort to searching for potential trades manually. Time constraint is my greatest challenge!

    I actually prefer 60days out to create room for adjustment, but I do overstep my bounds once in a while. Can any trader predict Implied or Historical volatility? I think it's much easier to predict price movement than bothering with IV/HV. What do you think?

    My Options Play

    Yes! Based on the technical outlook, this stock could fly up to 34, then 36. I'm keeping a close tab on it. There's the urge to bail out but that would violate the 7-day rule. The stock is shooting up with the possibility of over $2 gain; but then, the option expires this week. You may bail...

    Would you share a trading idea?

    Aptly put! Sharing with others trading rules or secrets is no guarantee for automatic success. It takes discipline and other human elements to succeed.

    Is Ned Bennett, COO of optionsXpress related to Phil Bennett of REFCO?

    Oh...OptionsXpress sent email to their customers in August 2003 asking them to sign up for Bernie's newsletter/auto-trading services. It was explicitly stated in the email that Bernie was/is a stakeholder.

    It is dangerous placing orders to buy/sell options before market opens!

    Is Ned Bennett, COO of optionsXpress related to Phil Bennett of REFCO?

    Phil knows next to nothing on Options. He was/is saddled with the moderation of OX message board, he does nothing but to censor any bashing of Bernie Schaeffer. Bernie Schaeffer is a stakeholder in OptionsXpress.:)

    Is Ned Bennett, COO of optionsXpress related to Phil Bennett of REFCO?

    Yes! They are related! Ned is a senior brother to Phil. I recall chit-chatting with Phil when OX was branching out of Chicago..... Any particular reason for asking? Ned Benneth, Ben Morof, and other OX officials used to be nice guys back in 2000/2001, but shortly after I gave them their...
