Personally, I think late 09 will be the best time to start looking. I still think things are going lower through 08 and hopefully leveling in 09. Its very possible it could take longer though. IMO

Not trying to bash just trying to get a feel for what you are trying to do. You are not a great trader or teacher, but you wrote 3 books on the markets, and your concentration is on psychology of trading and risk management? What could someone who is not a great trader or teacher offer about the...

I didn't find it neccessary to state the inherit risk of owning stock.

Sorry, forgot...in your case it can also be called away for a loss...but you still keep the premium so it lowers your cost basis.

Yes, its a great way to generate a better return and the safest option strategy (they even let you do this in retirement accounts). If you do it right, the worst that can happen is your stock is called away from you for a profit. The downside is you might leave some money on the table and you...

Personally I thought it was. Especially with Halo 3 sales, which leads to more x-box sales, which leads to more x-box live subscriptions, I thought it was pretty obvious they would raise guidance. Paired with the fact that tech was somewhere everyone was wanting to put their money because of...

Front month right now would be December. And yes its high, especially the day before the announcement. If a company releases pre market I will sell that day. Honestly its probably not the best strategy because you really need a huge move to get your moneys worth. Lately ive been going...

Oh, and just to clarify I was talking about long straddles/strangles. Seeing as how you said you were new I didn't think you were selling them...
