    I tend to gravitate towards high probability options trades where you may make a little less but have a better chance of making something. Usually I stick to debit spreads (double calendars are some of my favorite trades)... Having said that I always feel due to my "conservative nature" I...

    Deep ITM Call Writing for Dividend Capture

    I suppose depending on your view of BP you could sell the Jan11 25 Call for $20.20. BP pays a div of $0.84 a quarter, so if you get called out early there's a very little profit for you, however collecting just 1 div payment of the 3 remaining this year makes this a winner. Of course if you...
