The most prevalent of stock pickers in the DITM Covered Calls w/ Dividend Stocks arena is Karim Rahemtulla, Chairman Mt Vernon Research http://www.investmentu.com/IUEL/2005/January/deep-in-the-money-covered-calls.html (He regularly recommends Dividend companies for his Covered Call reports...

I Agree... Just because its factored in doesnt me you cant profit from it... It goes back to your opinion, you feel that everything gets called away. This is why I hate Investing forums. Everything is a contention!

Calls will only be Exercised if it benefits the Market makers. But just because you do or dont get called away doesnt leave you at a loss. GE and WMT are easy examples of this strategy. Take GE and DITM 6month out (Jun'10) reasonably priced call. You'll see your first Dividend and keep the...

So it's your opinion that every DITM Call will be exercised on all Dividend paying stocks???

Execution of the trade in the article was wrong. But the strategy is great if it's stretched out. Very feasible if you have Div DITM CCall 6month strategy covering two payouts. And Many Conservative traders play this strategy exclusively. Easy @ 5% return for only 3month holds usually. 20% yrly

Dividend DITM Covered Calls do hold water. See Smart Options E-Report: Issue 155 Most Dividend DITM CCalls are @ a 6 month hold spanning two Div payouts dates. The hope is the market makers see the probabilities that your CCalls are such a low 2%-3% probability and the market makers...

Oh I agree it's interesting. I just dont see it as viable... But in most cases lenders have some securitization/collateral to repo with the threat of serious ramifications as well. (ganishments, goods that can be resold to help recover, etc...) As a lender specializing in funding for...

It's the same as School Loans. But these are backed by the Federal Gov and severe penalties on non payments... Interesting But I dont see it as a viable business. Imagine... What are your default rates on the loans going to be trying to fund traders?.?.?. And How do you plan on dealing with...

JUN10 Puts on the DIA. Have fun and best of luck...

This is a great strategy only after you got really good at picking the direction of the market in your particular time frame. I usually play 15-45 days out Calls and Puts. For me this is because I'm comfortable with my directional biased picks for a hold time of wk - 1 month. But the rule...

Thanks. I've been paper trading some Collars. But all of my adjustments have been just killing me.

When you find the trade moving... Do you generally ??? A) Make adjustments or B) Close down the trade altogether and wait til next setup

I'm in the jdeezero05 camp, Interested in these type of breakdowns. With track record timelines. Maybe just alittle tweaking and it might be a usuable addon system

Try posting this or PMing this to Don Bright. It would be interesting to hear from him...

For me, it was after trading paid off all of my debts (at the time) and I had saved 1yr of all living expenses. Then I finally got confident enough to trade FT. I figured worst case, I go get another job doing what I was doing.

Thanks for all the messages... Merrill Lynch's MITTS are basically what I am trying to create. Didnt realize it was a Preferred Stock situation but that makes sense. How does the small guy create preferred(s) with the MITTS like structure???

You guys act like there's no such thing as Sinking Funds, CPPI, or Zeros that can 100% guarantee the principal, while you actively manage the % of dollars thats not required to maintain the Sinking Fund Coverage. Sry to be the one to tell you, not a marketing ploy. I was just wonderin if...
