    Writing Covered Puts

    I think it fits well when you have a downward bias with the stock. Especially when you dont think it will make a fast or big move. You can actually be 'wrong' and have the stock move a little bit against you (or not move at all ) and still make money. When your truly wrong and the stock...

    IB unbundled NYSE fees are wrong starting 10/1/07

    It appears that way, the problem is that i did not take away liquidity. I posted a limit order that was in play for at least a minute before being hit.

    IB unbundled NYSE fees are wrong starting 10/1/07

    Here is my days blotter. It appears that either I am missing something or I am being over charged as well. CRM is my first trade on the blotter, its a short sale where i added liquidity. Here is my math Commission .0035 / share * 200 shares = .70 Clearing DTC .0002 / share * 200...

    IB unbundled NYSE fees are wrong starting 10/1/07

    Its hard to imagine why one account would be charged the wrong amount and not have more like it. I usually provide liquidity both on the NYSE and the naz. Some of my commissions seemed unusual as well. Thanks for posting and please repost your results.

    Another trader searching for Mentor

    This sounds like the way to go. Even if the style is different then your own it will pay to watch someone who knows what he is doing. If you cant learn something from someone making money then your not spending enough time/effort in learning the trade. Another approach is fading markets...

    How to buy the Chinese Yuan for the LT

    I go to china a few times a year. I have bought the physical Yuan everytime I am there thinking it will go up in value. So far so good. I have asked people I work with in China if I (an american) can simply open a savings account for the same reasons as the OP. Wanting to gain some...

    good day overall. (kinda boring in the afternoon for me as everything happened by 1030am but I guess thats better than sweating bullets) I did end up buying 10 of the WM EFPs back at a small profit. The risk of WM lowering the dividend I think more than offset the extra gain over some of the...

    good day overall. I did end up buying 10 of the WM EFPs back at a small profit. The risk of WM lowering the dividend I think more than offset the extra gain over some of the others. Will be looking to find another (still have 4 WM EFPs March 08) + ~ 24 on the 10 WM EFPs + 1318 for...

    bought some WM EFPs to try to capture some interest on the balance in the account. sold for an annualized rate of 7.975% (march 08s) dividend is about 56 cents so if they cut that the effective rate will drop a lot. still better than having it sit as dead cash in the account. TSL is now...
