Thanks for the help. Basically I am looking for a couple of mutual funds for passive investing (invest and contribute monthly and forget it) that has much better performance than CD with less return and not worrying in down market.

I know this might not be trade related question but I there was no thread on mutual funds so I would appreciate if anyone has an input: I am looking for about 5 mutual funds to invest with the following categories: 1- Return of over 10% in the last 5 years. 2- No load 3- Minimum investment...

Your trade is the dullest trade I could image:) So where is the action? 2% in two years? OK don't do risky trades as I or some traders do but come on get into some actions. You can invest in mutual funds (like balanced ones) that did not have a negative year in 10 years and and they had 15% in...

My trades today: Sold 2 naked Call 35 TXN Dec @0.25 Sold 3 same Call @0.3 I wish I could wait and sell 20 cents higher. I am happy anyway.

9:30 in the morning, you are tired and yawning you feel something is happening, market is crashing your eyes are glued to the monitor, hesitant what to do. you feel like selling, you feel like cashing you can't lose anymore. You read the financial report They don't have any profit, its all...

Lose control sell what you hold short that trash before it crash

Is it a Rap song? :)

Which trade you would take? Look at the following two cases and their possible profits or losses and let me know which one you would pick as your trade. I will put the average of bid and ask as the premium and will ignore commission. Case 1: Sell Call and PUT TXN 32.5 for Jan. You will get...

To riskarb: Now that I look at your suggestion, I like it. It is good for a fresh entry. My plate is full now. Actually very full. I do small defensive trades now. I don't add a major position. I just want to get gas money and sell time and maybe that gas money will burn my house. Who...

Would've recommended selling the Jan 32h straddle at $2.80[30%vol]. You're ignoring vol when selling an option that's 20x25 cents. The 27.50 put is pure gamma, no vega. Now this post is better. At lest you are recommending something. That is what I want. Maybe it is not wise for a person who...

Sold 2 TXN PUTs Jan 27.5 @ 0.2

I admire Multioption because he was a real man and risk taker. Although he lost but I am sure he had got good money before and will do again. I did not agree with his trades though as it seems that no one agrees with my trades. Talking is cheap. I can also recommend, buy low, sell high, manage...

Even though I consider it entertaining, for this forum, I am not sure if it would be worth posting the trades... Space is free. Don't be bashful. Post your trades. I wish you win. We will all learn. But please don't just post your 5 minutes of joy when your trade moves 5 cent in your...

I assume the other side is a short sell for 0.25? Yes you are right but that was for December and not for Jan If TXN swings $10.00+ in AH (it does happen) then you are in big trouble, not worth the 0.50 credit. If that happens, yes I will be in trouble. I have made 30K to 74K in 11 months...

I'll never understand the motivation to sell nickels and dimes. There is no cheaper gamma to be sold than selling dimes on a tech stock. Sell the atm straddle if you're intent on selling premium. Always sell downside/upside(slope). Thanks for the feedback. Give me a trade example with a low...

I tried to sell some naked PUTs for TXN 27.5 for Jan 2006 @0.2 today but I didn't because cnms2's reprimanding face who was warning me of not getting too loose was in front of me:)

Losing is part of winning, so it is not something i worry about. If i worried about losing i would not make a dime, ever. You can change the name to comparison but i think you understand my point that a pure competition with people worthy of competing is impossible. People take their setup to...

I'm sorry to say that the competition for me is getting regularly fed with what the market is offering. At this point in time i cannot break bread here for some pseudo forum competition. Who cares if someone i know nothing about does well or not and if they see my results. It means shit. I can't...

Ready for a Monthly Competition? Everyone of us has a strategy and trade based on that. What I consider free money you guys consider it super risky and vice versa. Lets start a monthly competition starting from 1st of December till the end of the year. Write down your account value on end of...
