I agree with some of the comment yes I am comparing a otm 10 put vs a otm 15 call but what i am also pointing out is there is more potential for selling call sometime (or all the times) but we should use a mixture of both selling otm put and sometimes selling call it all depend on the outlook...

hi Maverick nice to see you reply. I understand your starting point and starting the title. I am doing some research and found this post. But I still believe it has great potential but not for everyone. How about broken wing butterfly, would you be familiar and start a discussion or we could...

I finally has time to go thru all the posting. I guess Maverick74 has left this thread. Maybe there is better strategy but again I guess there is no better strategy it is how you manage the position. the thread started in 2002 I wasn't even trading options back then, I wonder is Maverick born in...

7th time this year? It is not too bad actually. By my count it is 8th time from 4th of nov to 14th of nov 2007. This is ridiculous. A options seller will normally sell 30 - 60 days like myself. This sudden suprise increase upset a lot of people including me of course. Nobody know when the...
