Good lord what an awesome looking thread for me to read through. Thanks for keeping it alive thunderman! :)

Ah, opportunity cost, got it. Yes, it seems like you should compare the $$$ you make doing this to the $$$ you could make doing something of equalish risk. Didn't know long call holders might get the divvies. Interesting. Thanks!

Questions - Is my math wrong - he will make 22 cents min on the collar, no? Why would he have to pay 40 cents to finance the transaction newwurldmn? If he has money in his acccount to finance it? Why might he not get the divvy if he holds on and after ex-divvy date? Thanks!

Would everyone mind posting what charts they are looking at? I'd love to be looking at the same charts to try and hone in on the things yall are seeing.

Market seems to be holding up. I would guess chop today, big up day tomorrow.

LOL that might be the worst website of ALL TIME!

So in that, you collect 3.33 differential on the premium. If stock goes to 90, you are down 3.11 on the stock. Isn't that a 22 cents delta, plus the dividend?

fuuuuuuu

Thanks, like the good news!

Things seem to be looking up a good bit premarket based on my acct. lets hope this continues!

You'd think if they were Ouch. I really have a de-lever myself even more.

I've done a ton of reading on this forum, and one thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that so many people talk about blowing out their accounts left and right. Almost like its trendy or stylish to do so. Seems a bit odd to me, so I would appreciate some clarification on a few things. When...

I read in another thread sweet bobby blew out his account i believe. true? thanks.

I literally agree with you. Not to THAT extent, but I'm in some stuff that could blow me out if we truly had a 2008 style meltdown. Or at least it might if I don't hedge a little. Probably not, 65% of my account is cash, but it might. Who knows if VIX goes to 120 ha. But after this, I'm...

Thank you tommcginnis!

Options, tiddlywinks and heavenskrow, thanks for making me feel a little bit better!

Haha heavenskrow, yesterday I was not SCARED POOPLESS. Now I'm just hoping to survive! :) Thanks!

Interesting maxinger. Why do people hate charts to much? This is by and large a trading forum, and aren't charts a HUGE part of trading? Some people might disagree with your strategy, and think theirs works better, I get that. But why the heck would they just hate you posting charts straight...

I got a baaaad feeling about this one ladies and gents. Believe it or not, it actually started yesterday. I started thinking it was time to get out of some equity and pay off debt. Then today, BAMN.

In the U.S. equity markets? Test the early February lows, but no lower? Break through them to a much lower price support point (how far down)? Start of a true 2008 style bear market? Gulp. I hope its not this last one...
