    How did October Treat You?

    I was right on target for the month of Oct. Very very consistent profitable days. Actually, I am proud to say I didn't lose 1 day in october. Now for November... Well... It won't be an october. That's for sure.

    trading on member rates

    Yeah, you can't deposit money into a prop shop. It's illegal. The best thing you can do is to join a prop shop and just start an account at 0 and then build it up using company capital.

    shouldnt we do what we did in the 30's

    A. We didn't start a war. In fact, we were pretty much dragged into it. B. We made most of our money by supplying to foriegn countries. So perhaps we should let the rest of the world get in a war while we watch.

    ETFC Jan10 $5 calls

    Or you can buy the stock at 2.18, sell covered calls at $1.20 Then ride the stock up to $2.64 while the calls decrease to .95 like I just did. Am I the only one that saw the price extremely out of line with the other calls around it? Besides if you are afraid of the company going kaput...

    ETFC Jan10 $5 calls

    Bid 1.20 Offer 1.25 Good covered call play or best covered call play? There are so many arb opportunities with those. Make a spread on the Jan11 calls. Spread against the Jan10 $2.50 calls. Covered calls gives you HUGE insurance in case stock goes down and gives you a pretty good upside.
