    Protective Puts vs. The Stop Loss

    Exactly, I am aware that it is a synthetic call. But the reason I like my strategy better than just swinging the calls outright for swing trades of a few days to a couple of weeks is the fact that the position does not expire on expiration day. So If I was a little early with the position I can...

    Protective Puts vs. The Stop Loss

    Not really, I don't get too sophisticated with option strategies. Pretty much just long calls, long puts and the occasional straddle. Not to mention that I use Scottrade and they don't let any naked sales.

    Thought I'd start a weekend chat on the subject. I prefer the Protective Puts to manage risk when I swing trade a large position. When I began trading I would swing stock positions unprotected (gambled). Then I started using Stop Loss orders under support but got shaken out of too many...

    GILD's CHART 5/23

    Looks like an Inverted H&S, ascending triangle or support on a trendline. Choose your interpretation but it looks bullish to me.

    Gold !!!

    I actually like Gold at this level for the near term, Oil too. Why? The charts. Could be a nice swing trade. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=94270

    Actually, look at the daylight striking the back of the recliner. There are only THREE walls shown in the photo. I have a nice view of the 15x30 pool in the backyard. Along with Bose 151 outdoor speakers for listening to The Beatles poolside. :D

    Oil & Gold (USO & GLD) Looks Good Here

    I only wish they were optionable! 1000 share swing trades tie up too much cash, not to mention the margin interest! :mad:
