    NFLD... LEAP Covered Call Play

    Here is just another observation. The past 6 months NFLD hs been in a somewhat of a wave pattern. (see attached). The Low back in Mid June was the starting point that I used. My Wave spreadsheet was pretty close on predicting the supports and resistance point. Today it is right about where...

    S&P has topped for 2006

    The chart is looking "Tired" and due for a breather. Would not be supprised if it is done for the year, or at least a pullback to the 1330 range. My 2 cent....

    NFLD... LEAP Covered Call Play

    Fifteen Reasons Why I like NFLD... 1. The company has a product that meets a critical unmet medical need. 2. The company has a product with a worldwide potential sales of over $4B. 3. The company has patents on the "Holy Grail of Medicine". 4. The company has just successfully...

    NFLD... LEAP Covered Call Play

    Guess I had a bad choice in words there. I have done a few of these in the past and rode them for up to 4 consecutive months as the longest. Using the LEAP as a surrogate for the stock as in a covered call scenerio. You get a LEAP far out and deep enough it will track almost the same as the...

    NFLD... LEAP Covered Call Play

    Thanks.. I was looking at the price range on the 2 yr chart and it falls right into a rolling pattern that looks like it could be a steady money maker selling calls each month against a Jan 08 LEAP. The 7.50 LEAP prices are about the same as the underlying stock. Implied Vol. 75.7392...

    NFLD... LEAP Covered Call Play

    Was searching thru my stock screener and this came up. Looks pretty promising. Only real drawback would be it is a low volume trader, but there is a lot of open interest in the options. This has been listed as a STRONG BUY for the past 3 months. Would be a candidate for a LEAP Covered call...

    Well the SPX is taking some profits out and is going my way, as the indicators suggested. I went ahead and bought back the 1385 calls for .25. Why wait another day for it to possibly shoot back up and take back the profits. Here is where I stand.... Previous balance was $15,540.13. Add...

    Today I entered into the "Weekly" SPX Credit Spread. I know I am about to get "Flamed" for doing this but it looks like it should work out , considering it will be only a 3 1/2 days trade. The chart have been in a down trend since the High made on friday (1389.45). The Parabolic SAR has...

    How Buffet really made all the cash, explained. . .

    I think I could live with this kind of return.. "IF" you invested $1000 the first year and compounded the returns each year you would have $4,543,400 now.

    A question for options traders

    Another 2 cent here... I also would not be able to generate the monthly income that I have set for myself, without using options. Leverage is the primary reason most people trade them. Less up front capital is needed. I like to set up an amount I would like to earn each month, and with...

    GOOG Oct Option Observations

    You take what the market gives you, and be happy the market did not take from you... 2.60 credit... how many contracts? If you can't afford to buy the actual stock, as in GOOG, which most people can not, this is the way to do it. You came out ahead. Dont look back and "What if I..." Time to...

    It may be a gamble, but I am going to revise my previous statement. I am going to hold on to the 460 call thru the earnings report, and let it go to expiration tomorrow... E-Bay reported theirs and it went up about 6%. GOOGLE's last earning made the stock climb 4.47% after the announcement...
