Ifinitis......I couldn't agree more. Wasn't much of a technician and used to rely on fundamental analysis alone and had some success but, I realized the last couple of months of attending seminars (since, April 2005) left and right and reading up and understanding how the markets work----I have...

Tyler.......Only thing I can say is practice, practice, practice, study, study and study. It is a combination of what I have learned from different sources which I am using. A speaker at a seminar said, "you have to develop your style." What works for me does not necessarily work for you and...

I have enjoyed reading the diverging points of view as far as trading naked calls/puts versus just buying the calls and puts directly. Since, the risks are unlimited for writing calls/puts and the profits limited, doesn't it stand to reason that it is better to just buy the calls and puts where...

>>>Unlimited risk yes.......but manageable risk at that.<<< If one insists on writing naked puts and calls----one is asking to go bankrupt. Thinking of my last option trade on UAIKH (ANSI stock) Nov 40 Call----if it were to have skyrocketed say 20 points----the writer of the Call would have...

I am quite new to options but, have been learning a lot in the past 3 months and paper trading too. I just bought 3 options positions on LSCP (sorry cannot remember options ticker), made $460.00 on $740.00 invested, UWTXE (option ticker) bought this at $2.05 a contract (5 contracts) and sold it...
