    For US investors: International v US index funds?

    The merits of international diversification isn't that the international equities won't feel a US crash. Correlations increase during a bear market and both US and International equities will be hurt. Instead, the benefit is the opposite; during bull markets correlations get lower and you don't...

    Quick reference for real trading profit. Tips that work

    Is there a way to capture missed gains on a covered call if the underlying skyrockets?

    If I bought a stock and wrote a call, but then the stock jumps waaayyy up there above the strike, what are my options? If I buy back the call just before expiration, I'd be paying intrinsic value since it's ITM, but then I still have the stock, so if it continues to climb, I can cash out and...

    I own several thousands of shares of my employer via the employee stock purchase scheme. I am looking into generating some extra income by selling covered calls every couple of months - nothing fancy just a few OTM calls. Is it legal? Will it be considered insider trading? I asked around and...
