Somebody said why would you want to collar a $1 stock. WCOM, ENE, GBLX.

I don't know about anyone else but what has hurt me the most in calenders is having them go ITM and then not being able to roll the short side. I am almost, I say almost, convinced to use put calenders in a rising market and stock and call calenders in a falling one. It seems much better to use...

Metoox, I also have done the rolling down thing pretty much to no avail. However doing the same with calender spreads has worked quite well. The two stategies CCs and cal-sprds are some similar but when the far out month falls it can't go from $70 to $5 so the drop is much easier to make up. As...

Metoox, you are so right! Another thing is that in time you will be left with a portfolio of very worthless stocks that went south. I have left 4 such stocks in my account just to remind myself to leave this well alone. (CPN, SEI, PKD, PRTN) At a recent seminar when they were talking about...

Avalanche, Thanks for the info. Will do. Used GET for quite some time but like to see if they agree or whatever.

I tried the Analyzer 2 program for a while when it was on trial. It drove me nuts, it was, I feel a very limited package and missed most of the projections. I was trying it as a comparison to Advanced GET which I have been using for nearly a year. At least for me no comparison. Get does have a...

Nobody is any better than their last trade!

I don't mean unfair rules. I mean you better have some rules for yourself. If you get screwed there is only one way to keep that from happening again and that is within you. Your decision is always to trade or not to trade or to pay or not to pay, for a service or whatever. If you go on a...

I am beginning to think that this board is a contrarian indicator. I have never had a job and have traded since I was 14. Stocks or options only for a few years. Whenever you see the crowd going in one direction you better figure out how to get on the other side and profit. If you start going in...

Another really dumb question. I am using two computers, one a laptop that is hooked to a dialup that only gets 26.4 bps at the extreme top due to the phone lines. The other one is on satellite both with one monitor each. My question is I have a ATI 8500 card that has three outlets 1. standard...

OOPS! Sorry, made a mistake. I misread the first post. The site I am referring to is deltaneutral.com not the other one. I see now what you are saying about the hype, just compare the two sites and you will see the difference. Deltaneutral.com is used almost entirely for downloading and...

Sunfair, you couldn't be more right on. If you are a user of a picker service and it makes a pick of a farily thinly traded option just watch the price of the option rocket when the orders of all the other subscribers orders hits the MMs and the underlying stays flat. That is supply and demand...

The reason this site was never seen before was that is wasn't there before about two weeks ago. I don't believe they have made any claims at all. Only about a dozen people started with this beta and have been helping work out the glitches of installation etc. The author has been very helpfull to...

I have. I have been beta testing the software for about two weeks now and have used it a lot. I am not connected with this site or software in any way but I have corresponded with the author for some time and appreciate what he is trying to do. It is still too early to tell on the profitibility...

Like a fool I did this for quite a while, although pre the bear market. It is a great learning tool but an expensive one as the number one lesson is not to do it. Put this strategy on an option risk graph and you will see it is exactly like selling a naked put. In Thinkorswims' flashing...

Dottom, I am sorry I offended you. The point about the college was meant that the discipline to actually go ahead and get the learning wasn't there without the incentive of the organized education. Maybe that is part of the secret that if you pay for something you are more likely to go ahead and...

If I attended college for 6 years it must have been a waste of money when everything I learned I could have gotten at the library free. College wasn't free and I am sure you could get all the learning at the library but many people use the college route. If someones ROI was 50-80 times the...

At the last seminar I attended there was a guy sitting near me who had been going to the seminars since 1993 and he was happy, fairly successful, and still attending for the updated strategies and further education. Another fellow I remembered from another seminar who I asked how he was doing...

I guess the variety and opinions of these responses shows that there are many ways to skin a cat. Quite a while ago I decided to bite the bullet and spend the amount to attend the first seminar. From my other businesses I have learned that while it is wise to be frugal you also can't starve a...

Inandalong-I appreciate and agree with your posts very much. I came to know the Lord about 30 years ago through several experiences that left me with little choice. At that time I thought I might lose my wife (due to sickness). She is the only girlfriend I ever had since childhood and my very...
