Would someone just take me out and shoot me....what a wasted day. I did eek (literally :eek:) out 3 freaking pts and should have just turned it off. Better things to do with your life sometimes. sigh

no idea Luis since I don't follow or subscribe to newsletters...perhaps someone on here may have in the past and can help. gl

You could probably learn a lot if you set up all his trades on sim and followed them for awhile. His book was an excellent instructional book for someone without a strong academic foundation in BS and options. I have issues with most traders who post their options strats...usually its...

You are short AAPL weekly 550 call and long the 555. It expired today lets say at 554. Your long call expired OTM and you are the proud owner of -100 shares of apple at 550 per share. (Unless your long call was another later date expiration it doesn't help you since it expired out of the...

In the above you are gold since you sold the put you would be LONG not short the shares. If you meant to say you were short the call and were assigned shares that you didn't have covered then its up to your broker. Most issue a margin call and give you time to close and/or sell the stock...

you still need to watch it...I've been exercised when there was still value in the put...no big deal I immediately sold the stock for a sm profit but what if I hadn't checked that am and the stock tanked that day. Check your position before market open...every day.

you'll be happy...I've gotten long a bunch of next weeks calls...no special reason except I'm short delta's (as usual) and Turkey day week is usually fairly quiet which means a slow drift up????

Now that thats been settled WHEN will gold rally??????:D
