Hi I'm here... ran accross this thread and am tipping my toe in the H2O...I have been investing/trading our family's IRA since my husband threw up his hands in disgust sometime during the 2000-2002 big bad bear. The truth is although he is/was the businessman and far better than I in...

LOVE Traders Joe's..but we don't have one out here..last time in Palm Desert brought back 8 cases of 2 buck chuck! At costco I've learned to buy and freeze the meat's and buy only dry goods that can be stored...the fresh stuff usually gets tossed because you are right about the temptation to...

I've been working on my exit strategy..First will sell my (new )put spread and actually more concerned about pricing that right as I do think the spx will head south rather than north this coming week...2 reasons...1) looking at the yearly chart it has been almost straight up since Oct 21. I...

Hi Nick..good for you in starting this journal..jumping in here did you chose the xeo for its relative size compared to spx? Have you traded it in the past? I guess I'm asking how familiar are you with the index and the underlying components? Or is this providing a learning curve? tia donna

Hi and thanks for setting this up:D I will mostly be following because I'm a little skiddish on calendars..

sooooo you were doing BEar call spreads?

RD... if you don't mind my asking...did you do deep in the money PUT or CALL credit spreads in GOOG and CME...also Coach I know you did GOOG..the reason I ask is that for Dec I decided to do a deep Put spread on CME as I have been very interested in it for some months. On Fri i did a 360/350...

Thanks Andy...I give you an A for creativity...I've never heard of a PREemptive hedge:D

Andy, looks like a cool spread but your hedge cost more than your call spread...is the hedge fewer contracts? what does BWDIK mean? TIA donna

....well I closed out the 1240 and the 1235 short calls. 1240 were no problem to close got mid at 1.45 However the 1235 weekly was another story. There were 10 contracts on the open that went for .35 so I started with .45 and quickly raised it to .50 which sat and so did I. Part of the...

I'm blown away by the level of maturity and thoughtfulness you have (for being such a young man). Yo momma and papa I know are so proud of you!:p

I was hoping no one would read my comments but felt obligated to put in the good, the bad and the ugly. :( I stared at the computer a lot today and watched the weekly..at one time tried to buy it back for .90 but didn't get filled... since I wasn't losing money ended up doing nothing will wait...
