I have gotten long position. lets see wht happens sold put of 510 @ 70 bought call of 550 @ 86 I will reply back here tomorrow to let you know. @richard, please let me know how things go with you.

regarding 1st post- I cant sell call as my broker wont allow it in my acct (start up). 2nd post- If the stock tanks below 505, I will cut my loses and move on, I am certainly not going to wait for it to expire.

oh shit sry guys.. i see where the issue is. I meant to say sell put of 510 for 13. which has changed to 7 now cuz of stock's move. and buy call 550 for 13. which has changed to 10 now.

the risk v reward is the ONLY reason i am pussying out and not doing it :( I also dont mind owning the stock at 505 if stock drops 5% after hrs. I saw the other post abt QQQ but i dont see as big a pop or drop in it over aapl as goog, msft and others r already priced in.

I dont see a chance that fed is going to tamper with QE and the sells of apple's phones are going to be positive. i dont see appl going below 510 EVEN if their forecast is not tht great for next fiscal. that is the ONLY reason i m looking at the short term gain. PLUS if the shit hits the fan...

I am thinking of going long before the earnings for mini my possible trade is sell nov 2@ 510 for 13 buy nov 11 @ 540 for 13 what do you guys think?

on an avg i used to do 3-4 diff trades. ALL short term (1-2) months. the prob I always had (as Put_Master said), i got the direction right jst not the timing. its a bit frustrating. That is why I cam here to find out what should I do and what stock should I play with.

I HAVE TO, with 3k, I dotn have too many options, unless I start looking the stocks with price less than 10 to reduce my risk. cuz even the straddle or x-mas trees tht ppl have talked about, I can use those as I can only sell put with cash secured. so all those other strat with more than 2...

just wondering something. ie. VOD is trading at 28.45. I can sell the (cash secured) put for july @ 29 VOD for 2.2. Doesnt that mean its a good idea to do this? my BE would be 26.8, so even if the stock dropped to 27.5 from here, I would STILL make money off the prem. OR essentially, I...

no, tht is a virtual/practice account.

do you guys have any stocks and strat you guys use often and makes may be 5-8% per position? thanks

Thanks guys for all of the great remarks. @ putmaster. I am going to print your 1st commnet to remind me of it :) thnx a bunch. I dont think optionshouse is giving us the mini-options. I really wanted to do tht for appl. I wish i can get in it. I bought few stocks already, but i know...

I am starting a new acct JST TO LEARN options. I have been using my demo options account for couple of yrs. I have basic understanding of options (not great with technical terms). I am thinking of putting 3k in my acct jst to play around with it. I want to know what are good strat to...

but isnt the PL of the 60 SP with 1.5 prem an UNREALIZED PL? meaning if i sold put of SP 60 for prem 1.5. I already have 150 in my pocket. now if the stock went up to 62, the purchaser of the put is not going to exercise his option, and so doesnt matter what my PL stmt says regarding the...

sorry all for late reply. I didnt have internet access over the weekend. I just wanted to know if its realistic for ppl to actually sell put if you are bullish on a stock. of course its not going to be easy, if it was everyone would do it. abt the nok stock, again tht was jst an example...

Thanks atticus that was jst an exp which I did in my virtual account. I bought 10 contracts BTW. I know 70 is basically a CHUMP change, and I comp understand that, I jst want to know if this strategy is plausible. also, as long as the price stays above the strike price, I am basically...

Hi guys, I am basically in an infantile level compared to all of the threads i have read here. my question to you guys is, If I know that the comp is on bullish trend, can I sell the put options to make the premium on it? ie. nok is at 3.5. and if sell the nok put with SP for 3 on...
