    put/call selling seem to make sense so far as of now.

    Why not, I am not a day trader. why not get compensated for taking the risk of buying stock or holding stock? instead of just having a 401K in some mutual fund going no where, and management fees eating out your nestegg even though the market is flat after all these up and down BS? At...

    put/call selling seem to make sense so far as of now.

    IF this market continues this up/down sideways it seems the only way to grow your nest egg for now is selling ATM or slightly OTM short puts to buy stock, short calls to set up limit sells. And at least grow your portfolio.

    4 Blasts rock Wallstreet!!

    In 1982 Unemployment was over 10% right? but without the extentions. Maybe that is why they are extending unemployment now to prevent such things. Maybe when we get to 10% over this will happen again.
