    AFL and OXY

    I own both AFL and OXY. These are excellent dividend growth companies. I will NEVER sell them, will collect and re-invest the dividend for the next 35 years until I retire, and then spend the dividend while in retirement. Like Warren Buffet, my preferred holding period is forever.

    Thanks all for your comments. As the OP, I've been astonished by the level of complexity of the options strategies discussed in this post. You guys have much more technical knowledge than I have but still, I can see a lot of disagreement between you guys on whether writing options should be...

    Selling out of the money puts with low risk

    Nicely said CDCaveman, The very thing I don't want to happen is to miss the stock market recovery and the dividend increases. I thought selling puts would be easy money for little work and almost a free lunch as some investors want others to believe. Just so you know, and being honnest...

    Selling out of the money puts with low risk

    Thanks everyone for your input. I came to the conclusion options are not for me as: I don't want the accounting hassle as I never sell and never pay capital gain tax. The only tax I pay is on the dividend and I don't want to get involved with paper work. If options can only make me...

    Selling out of the money puts with low risk

    I'm risk averse and have a diversified portfolio of high quality dividend growth stocks JNJ, KO, PEP, MCD, XOM, LO, MO, KMP, WMT, PG, TGT, and so on. I never sell the stocks, collect the dividend along the way, and will continue to do so for decades. It fulfills my objective of making an AVERAGE...

    I read several posts where people had issues with graph scales when plotting 2 instruments on the same graph. From looking at their graph (with wrong scales) they went long the weaker and short the stronger (which is the correct thing to do) and expected a reversion to the mean, and when the...

    Hi Justrading, After some google searches, it seems Ninjatrader allows spot fx also (not just currency futures). However in the link you sent: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=48790 I understand the NT user wanted to plot 5 futures in the same chart and the NT...

    I've got the lifetime license for Ninja Trader and was trading live futures with it (cost me around $1000 for the license). I haven't used Ninja for ages. I closed my futures account, and last time I tried to log in Ninja I could not. I thought Ninja was for futures only (that is what I was...

    pair trading and charts overlay

    I managed to post the netdania screen in the previous message. As you can see, the overlay cannot be relied upon to places trade as the instruments do not use the same scale

    pair trading and charts overlay

    I had a look at netdania but I dont think their charts overlay functionality can be used for pair trading (also called stat arb or spread trading or correlation trading) because the graph scale on the right hand side of the graph (eg. scale for EUR USD) is not the same as the scale used on the...
