    ^ Not sure yet. I'm not going to post a chart today because there are only two data points, but I'm down about $94 as of today.

    Sorry for not updating for the last few days. I was visiting some family and taking some time away from the internet. Shares were called away. No dividend. Profits for the trade were $749.50. Nice little pullback today. May enter again soon. I will update this thread periodically...

    If options expire on ex-div date?

    I have a covered call position with a 9/21 option on SPY. The ex-div date is also on 9/21. Am I going to get the dividend as long as my option isn't called away before then? If so, what are the chances of that happening?

    FOMC announcement at 12:30

    Not usually. I'm holding stuff longer term now anyway so I don't really care about daily craziness. Plus I can't predict price anyway so even if I know a big announcement is coming up I don't know if it's going to make price go up or down. If I was trading intraday I would probably not...

    My Trading Issues - Pyschological & Methods

    I was watching an episode of House Hunters International where this family was relocating from America to Singapore and I was shocked at how expensive everything was! These small 1 bedroom units were like US$2,000+ per month. I mean, they were nice, but that's expensive! I think they also...
