    Nondirectional trade , is it possible ?

    spot on MTE ! I already hold on the stock for long time with long term put option (9 months-12 months) as protection. The dividend for the company more less pay for the put (so like 'free' capital guarantee). Very-very handy during the rough patch like last year. Then I just do covered...

    timing in taking profit in spread trade

    I have IB account (well, the account is with other local company but the statement account is from IB - so practically I am using IB isn't it ?) - but the charge for option in US is $15 per leg. Not as cheap as IB direct (less than $1). The problem with direct account is the hassle of...

    Nondirectional trade , is it possible ?

    I fully agree that those seminar/workshop/bootcamp/whatever the name is simply overprice. If you looking for some interactive question/answer, usually they don't have or have very limited time anyway.

    Covered Call: the stock itself got rejected!

    It appear it's some kind of 'standard operating procedure'. (see the content of the letter I demand from the broker) Gee, I guess I have never across a covered call that being suspended before. This is one of those 'silly' rule that need to be removed. There is no implication whatsoever for...

    Covered Call: the stock itself got rejected!

    Sorry, I should be more explanatory for worldwide audience. My apology. The stock OZL is OZ Minerals and listed in Australian Stock Exchange. ACH is Australian Clearing House. And covered called is a.k.a Buy Write. The broker at the moment seems not at fault (it's CommSec) because I did...

    Covered Call: the stock itself got rejected!

    that's exactly my argument. I thought if the stock is being suspended, status quo will take charge. It's really strange policy by ACH. I just received the 'release of securities from option cover' letter, so the broker was not playing around. it's real...
