Is that why the S&P went crazy at 12:30 EST?

You understand "get rich" marketing very well. Same thing happens with those guys who sell real estate investing courses. Do you know how they made their millions? Hint: it wasn't from real estate investing (the thing which they claim to be experts at).

Sorry I didn't post an update yesterday; I was visiting family. Here is yesterday. 9/11: Open position: SPY: $584.00 Call proceeds: $64.75 ------------------------------------ $649.75 And here is today. 9/12: Open position: SPY: $632.00 Call proceeds: $64.75...

9/10: Open position: SPY: $544.00 Call proceeds: $64.75 ------------------------------------ $609.75 11 calendar days until option expiry Max potential SPY value is $144.99 ($692 profit) above which my position will be called away. 9/21 is the next ex-dividend date

9/7: Open position: SPY: $626.00 Call proceeds: $64.75 ------------------------------------ $691.75 14 calendar days until option expiry Max potential SPY value is $144.99 ($692 profit) above which my position will be called away.

No criticism taken. I appreciate the feedback. I have no idea how much higher SPY is going to go. Selling a call seemed like a way to test the waters here. If the position gets closed out it's not big deal. And if it doesn't, it's also no big deal. I have no data suggesting that a new...

Are the charts I post every day not showing up?

Sept $145 call sold for $74. Watch price go straight up now :D

Thinking very strongly about selling a September 145 call. It's only $73 though which will be about $64 or something after commissions.

52 week highhhhh!

Gap up outta nowhere! Glad I didn't sell that option yesterday. We're 7 cents away from the 52 week high.

9/5: Open position: SPY: $284.00

Price is going nowhere. I'm about ready to sell a SPY call. Deciding on a good price. Of course, as soon as I do this, price is going to shoot upward :D

9/4: Open position: SPY: $296.00

8/31: Open position: SPY: $309.00

8/30: Open position: SPY: $242.00

8/29: Open position: SPY: $344.00

True. Every strategy has times when it works well and times when it doesn't. Since I am unable to predict direction (otherwise I would've gone long with my entire account instead of with 100 shares of SPY, and would've sold at the high on the 21st), this is the way that works best for me...

I started with half my normal size this time, but I have to start small so I have more to add later. Not much has happened in the last month, though, so my small position hasn't really done much.
