Atticus, You sound angry,.....breathe and relax,.... my math is fine. If you believe that 3% compounded is 36% annually, well, I can't help you. If, anyone still thinks that 1.1 divided by 3.9 is not 28.20512805 %, well, maybe they need new batteries,...... This is supposed to be a...

Xflat and Atticus, Sorry, maybe there is some confusion here. Maybe I need to mention I own the stock, not the options. Does that make more sense? For clarification: I bought, ( in 2 entries), xxx shares with a cost basis of $7.10. I have received, and will get to keep the option...

PM, I personally wouldn't go that far out, but again, that is a personal thing. I see about 79% probability and I think you could do better and get more than 10% premium faster, and with the same risk. 3.3% per month is fine. Beats losing 3.3% per month, and compounded is something like 44%...

PM, Standby,......I'll check my crystal ball,......

Well, I always let them run their course and don't care as much about the Gamma, etc. I'm not looking at trading the options as much as collecting "rent" I use price, charting, and fundamentals etc. to acquire and then calculate. Has worked great for me for quite some time. called return...

PM, I agree that how you trade is how you trade. Everyone is different when it comes to their own blend of strategies. I usually do credit spreads and perhaps leg in to IC's on the indexes. I have found stocks to be too volatile and need more management. The reason I prefer nearer month...

A little late, but here's the last 2 weeks,..... I'm new,...don't hurt me too much,.... still learning and reading lots of you guys' posts,... Analysis Data For 5/18/2009 - 6/3/2009 Total Realized Gain/Loss $1,995.32 :D

PM, Just wondering if you have thought about using nearer month calls and puts and have time decay work in your favor. I have used credit spreads very effectively on the indexes over the last few months, sometimes converting to IC's mid to later in the month when clearer signals, (for me) are...

Did I miss something? It looks like they are negative amounts to me,..... I'm no magician, and really new back on the scene, but even I can pull a solid 10% a month,.......please advise, I'm always interested in learning new things and I am willing to pay for a good product. Cheers, Steve

For the bulk of my holdings: I like holding solid company stocks that meet certain criteria, and ETF's in US and foreign markets. I like what other countries are doing and have been doing and there are a few stocks, ETF's that are worth looking at. I think there are like 715 ETF's, but I only...

Hi Guys, New guy here. great forum, thanks for all your humor and info. I, too, have been in UNG for a bit. I sell covered calls to help fight the costs associated with it. I did pretty good with PRU over a 3 month period, selling out last week for a decent gain. I am looking for a decent...
