Well I got a lot of followers on Twitter - but won't be incorporating this into business practices, just yet. I do post random IBD tips and re-Tweet, but sharing with a "following" what I do - right now - is a far cry from where I need to be. Perhaps in the future I can have a "locked"...

Some may be aware of my covered call system efforts being tracked at Collective2.com (see profile for more info). So here are excerpts from a recent post - KC Update - Two years of verifiable data. The CC return is still great even if less than my new systems - but the key is I manage...

An example of results from a high compounded annual growth rate CAGR over time (more than a few years;) Initial investment: $150,000 CAGR: 50% Can you visualize a 75k annual first year gain jumping to 350k in a couple more years and then $1M in a couple more and then to $5M in a few more...

I've heard a lot of banter regarding analyzing systems and seen a lot of systems come and go in just 2.5 years at Collective2. It is not by chance that my initial verdict still holds true and will always hold true (even if ignored by many). The only system analysis parameter that holds any...

Similar to typical market action (correction followed by a market "bottom") the market <i>eventually</i> will enter into the next phase. We have not had a classic "run for the exits" scenario as volatility has spiked to unheard of levels and is now back into the 20's. I am looking to see...

<b>Some History</b> I've been trading covered calls since 1998. Results-oriented efforts have produced a long-term "winner". I came to C2/ET in May 2007 to trade a hybrid CC Fund/Index Spread System. The market was very rocky, but after initial and contained DD I did uptrend back toward...

And the silence continues (he-he) along with the occasional troll bait. . . :D.

It may be hard to connect the dots, but the above graphic describes the following exponential growth curve, which I'm certain has been seen before: My futures systems are a lot easier to trade, take less margin, are more diversified AND thus far have doubled the output of my CC Fund...

<b>Are we there,<i> yet?</i></b> Apparently NOT! According to my system(s) parameters to make exponential jumps to equity for <i>multi-year</i> periods - I HAVE to have conservative loss measures in place. . .and I do! Unfortunately in the short-term this hasn't worked out SO well. But if...

Note a long-term 40% average out-performance versus the Nasdaq. This can mostly be seen within a one-year period. Also note an anomaly produced by the volatile Bear Market of 2007-2009. A volatile 2007 showed a minimal out-performance, while 2008’s was huge. Ten months into 2009 has yet to...

Is 2-4 months a long time for a high-growth long-term system? Well when you are *still* in the early stages of proving said results (pure mechanical system=appropriate gains in due season) it can seem a lifetime -> esp. when you know the story ending. hedgefundsguru (me, see profile)...

More chronicling (from my blog, see profile): <b>From Covered Calls to Using Index Futures or ETFs</b> My initial work from 1998-present using covered calls averages a 50% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) with a 20% (max) DD (drawdown). It maximizes gains from high-yielding CC positions...

Contrast this with *conventional* wisdom (apparently when picking from Morningstar's "Best Funds" list - you need much *luck*): [some excerpts] But beating the category average isn't what you expect from "best" funds; a better hurdle would be finishing in the top 25% of the asset class...

Speaking to myself here guys? Nice article I'll re-post: Real People, Real Success Posted 12/02/2009 05:30 PM ET IBD Subscriber: Rajesh S. Rajesh S. is an electrical engineer. When IBD last spoke with him in July, he was sitting on a double-digit gain from 2008 using IBD and...

(cough!, cough!, cough!) Any long-term investors want to weigh in, here? Scalping contracts for what? p$

Bill is described as "legendary". His research "studied eight different market cycles, and eventually identified seven basic factors that all top-performing companies had in common. O'Neil then developed CAN SLIM, an investment strategy that took into account not just fundamental and...

Impressive - http://www.william-oneill.com/ , but I did find one typo!p$

Here is a hint: CAN SLIM :cool:

Do you recognize this guy?
