Don I´m almost afraid to ask another stupid question here. On selling the PUT in a stock, if the price of the stock goes through the put, you get assigned the stock. That I get. What happens with an index? Say in a credit spread? The sold side, what happened to it? I would...

http://westernbelizehappenings.blogspot.com/2012/01/chat-chill-beach-bar-and-grill-on-caye.html This is my youngest daughter´s latest venture. Doing okay too. She usually leases them out, after she gets a business going, or sells them.

Phibbus That was a good explanation of what you and Don are trying to do. Atticus - maybe you remember the old Laurel and Hardy movies? I´m the idiot guy in the pair. Forget now what the comedians called it. Or was it Jerry Lewis and his partner? ( the singer ) Amazon.com...

Just did a quick look. If you selected your entry for a credit spread, Iron condor, or whatever whens the 1 year monthly was turning by the SLOW STOCHASTIC and then ran the 3 month weekly chart doing the same thing, or found a better oscillator to tell you price was turning, then downsized...

Don I ran the dividend stocks gambit. It´s a crap shoot like everything else. Took ten high paying dividend stocks. Looked for the two year low. That didn´t work out, no premiums there. You HAVE to sell one strike OTM to get anything, which makes it a crap shoot. Only...

I´m very curious what kind of strategy can be used to do these earnings reports. We are looking at an overnight trade that is going to move between 2% and 4% for sure. Maybe even 5% or 10%. The only problem it is a flip of the coin thing for me so far. There must be a way to trade such...

Kinggyppo I have to apologize. I have often been told I overanalyze things to death. It is in my nature. I spent decades in the Western Caribbean Sea as a sea captain. Running through myriad reefs at night, usually avoiding people, based on my skill. It was a time of Central...

Alright. Okay! Let me see. You calculate what the dividend rate should be if you wanted it to buy. Then sell the PUT at that calculated strike? Never having done an expiration, or traded options on stocks, ( I have traded stocks though ) ( even done a couple of stock dividend strategies. )...

Let me see,betting around the fluctuations of dividend stocks, blue chips presumably? Buy PUTS or CALLS based on the dividend percentage, as it marks a fair return, or average return. The stock price would move up or down. Except you are SELLING. Hmnnnn! Sort of locks in THETA.

Don I¨m thinking aloud here. Okay, you want a stock you think is a better buy for the dividend return, if you could buy it lower. So you sell the a stock PUT in options and if the stock price sinks, you buy the stock? Buy back your PUT? And if it doesn´t go down to a good dividend...

Don Interesting! I didn´t get the PUT the stock business. You already own the stock? It wasn´´t too clear the way you described it.

Don When do you cover if threatened by market movement in that short strangle you recommend.

The volatility is collapsing? I go take a knap on the verandah hammock. when I come back, my PUT is slightly lower, so the premium should be gaining. But the premium has shrunk? Got the direction right and still losing money. Go figure. Aahh well. Just hold. Don I´ve been trying...

Note sent to my friend in the Library of Congress. On Natenburg option book. Charlie Friends on a trading forum are recommending reading an options book by Natenburg. If you can locate one in the discard pile, it would be nice. Would not buy it new. Wendy just bought a new book called...

I broke the trendline and so closed the CALL for a small loss and reversed the trade and am in a PUT right now. Be couple of days next week, before this works out, I imagine? Two losses this week, not a good week at all. still in the game though. I have a librarian friend in the...

We don´t have bookstores in this country. Too rural and small population. So I haven´t read it. Okay, you are leveling your GAMMA by adjusting your holdings. You apparently are still receiving THETA? As in selling options somehow, or just not considering THETA, other than to get it to...

Trading is half luck. "I too am Flattening the net short gamma in my book." Explain this sentence please? Atticus is always saying this stuff, but I can´t picture it, what he is doing. As he says; it is sort of abstract thinking. My thinking may more be described as chaotic,than...

Home made indicators are those in freestockcharts.com that allow you to change parameters, combine different types of indicators along with the same standard ones offered. Maybe HOMEMADE is the wrong word? I´ve probably got 75 of them. Then I sort of sift them for performance ratings and...

Babu What I found in order to get the TOS -Calendar trade - was click on the bid of the March weekly ( end of month 7 days ) ( you say ask? )- The bid of March would then default to sell March and buy April ( ask- I presume? ) It would give me a premium limit. I thought I could change...

LULU must have reported EARNINGS after the close. It opened down 5% and then by noon, went up high 2%. How can you trade something like that? - KBH tomorrow has earnings I´m watching. -
