2CL: Fine. I'll admit I do not know what lies ahead. Obviously there is much to learn - and I will, thanks to your's and everyone's help. What I do know is that I am able to derive the results you've seen - with the strict use of covered calls. On this - and only this - I am an 'expert'...

Anyone lend much credence to the Vix/Vxn?

Yeah..gonna take a bit longer to establish metrics at C2. With JADE had BTO 1000 to STC 10 calls but then BTO 90 and then 9000 (didn't take of course, lol). So since the 90 aren't covered I closed the 90 and took a .10 (spread) loss. Chalk that up to making sure the system trades 10...

I can only let the market be my guide. Careful study of the price and volume action of both stocks and indexes will always prove most valuable. IBD's (Investor's Business Daily) "Guide to the Market's" will justify this. That being said...I wake up and look at the futures and overseas...

As far as discerning the market...let the market be your guide. And with negativity, just ignore it. Paysense

2CL & FF: Per your words...now go away - and don't come back. I am really getting annoyed by this. You are just confusing my results with a bunch of gibberish on my thread. If you had contrasted with me, your (or anybody's) results that had bested (or at least met) my average 50%+ return over...

2FF: I agree with most of what agtrader777 says. Try and come up with an answer for what you are doing and why you are doing it. Not sure what you are trying to do. Passing time daytrading without a concrete plan at best will do just that - pass time. I feel getting your confidence...

The recent (stock-releated) drawdown and subsequent pull back up... And how it looks with a 'value' chart. Not too bad considering I made a play with a small stake (extremely high premiums) in DNDN. Again, a biotech takes up a relatively minor stake of the portfolio, but are...

You are also wrong in that I do have a right to post - just leave out the URL's. Seems criminal to you for me to get so much viewing? Hmmmm, I quess we are back to that unconstructive dialogue - it really is a pity. Just stay off the thread - that is one of your choices. I don't know about...

100M would take some logistics, but then again - I'm dreaming, remember? jus' kidding.P

You are right in that this is a valid discussion. Can a portfolio with say 5 holdings in these type of issues be managed from $5M to $20M to $100M... What is the limit to where trade size will impact price? I've given quite a bit of thought to this, but truly don't have all the answers...

...now you've got me even wonderin'??????? NO! Stay true to form GilL! This was done in my account and now with the 'auditable' C2 account. "Do I really think...?" I've been doing these in my sleep for quite a while, so yeah. GA

Here was yesterday's 'real-time' trade alert... Monday, June 4, 2007 11:35 am PST Bought 200 shares of AKS (AK Steel Holding Corporation) at $35.15 (ask). Sold (2) AKS Jun 35 (AKSFG) call option contracts at $1.45 (bid). Why? To make money. Is it sure? No. What main factors are...

Let's say u know best... Now take this hypothetical situation: (1) One has success with a covered call strategy. (a) a small account is opened (b) gains are ramped up during flat-to-uptrends (c) losses are minimized during downtrends (d) this is done for 5 years...

to be susccinct - Who really cares what you think or what I think? What I deem as valuable will stay as such until I deem otherwise. Making money and even success with a good strategy is at best a side note. Some may do well, others not. But life goes on and that's just fine. Gilbert

...good, bad, indifferent. Is your choice of medicine. Results are what matter, so if we can agree...THIS is what we are bent on! Paysense

Breakout the credit cards lol. Just curious. Is there any verifiable audits of a contrarian that started a hedge fund based on reverse-trading all systems at C2?? It seems, if this can be indexed - some very serious gains indeed can be derived. PS

FYI...per the chart above, an ~50% return was achieved in about a 5 month period - with a rather conservative strategy and minimal use of margin. Again I say...this is a moot point if come xmas all is lost back (because all strategy parameters weren't worked out i.e. downtrends). Also, for...

I don't need to tell you that this is a very respectable 4-month return. But why not state your 4-year return? I am the only dummy here? Capital has already and will align itself. I do have SOME pride in what I do and feel I have succeeded in hitting most of my targets - not the least...
