maybe it is an oversimplification, but it seems to me with the rapid growth of china and other companies we're not producing anymore oil, so long term it will keep going up. houses can be built, real estate developed, and corn grown, but of course oil in non renewable...demand is only going to...

no? yes? maybe? stupid question? no doubt

or is it just futures? if they do where can i find them

If I buy back a call. Can I sell that call that I bought back since I paid for it ?. I used a leap to cover it. And IM doing options.

Seem to work really damn well. Obviously a flat stock is ideal, but I bought and sold equal amounts of contracts on MA, only the ones i bought expired a month later. Even if the options i sold are exercised which they should be seeing as i did this before earnings i still end up up about 20%...

I see. So you're telling me some idiot on the NYMEX sees an explosion in the middle east, concludes oil will go up b.c of lack of supply and therefor invests in it which pushes up the price per barrel and that effects how much it costs us to fill up?

hmmm Im not understanding this. if they get it from the ground and their costs are the same then why is it priced higher at the pump??

ok but shouldnt they be paying more for the oil they get?

If the spike in crude (consequently higher pas prices) is due some kind of supply issue...why are the oil companies raking in record profits?? I'm just saying....

if you write a call or put can you and sell it, can you assign it to somebody else? example I write 10 july 25's and get 3,000 premium. Could i then pay somebody 3,000 (or more or less) and they then take on the risk associated with those calls?

Thanks for your info. It seems to me it all about the premium you get when selling the calls. I was looking at motorola the other day at the calls expiring in a month were only 50c cheaper than ones expiring in a year! obviously if you can get that kind of premium your much more likely to make a...

hmm ok? anyone else?

No? care to explain why?

I dont know what its called, im sure other people have thought it before....but it seems pretty solid. here's a rough explanation: You first buy, say, $10,000 in calls with the expiration 6 months a year away give or take for lets say $10 each struck at $15 or $12.50. So thats 10 contracts...

have none of you heard of myspace??

Hey guys, i just researched covered calls and im curious about them. they seem almost foolproof. they look like they have a very high probability to be profitable. is there someting im missing? why dont more people do this if it works so well?

Are you smoking crack?

I disagree. Apple is too good of a company. It may drop in the short term, but not by much. I love AAPL.

There you have it. Want genital warts? Then go llong financials.

Damn right i do! ever heard of chlamydia? Its all good for your 15 minutes of fun with the chick. just like its nice right now being long financials. but pretty soon, people are going to realize that, fundamentally, nothing has changed with these over-leveraged companies....just like pretty...
