Mmmmm. Too much work for no reward. Good luck with it tho.

Of course if you're paper trading there is no reward. But I was sure as hell rewarded when isrg went +8.5% in my favor in about 10 minutes, So there is alot of reward if you know what you're doing. Good luck.

Quote from blackchip:

I think someone else mentioned a stock.

If this is sarcasm, LOL! This thread has a 100 to 1 views to posts ratio which ranks it amongst the highest in the journals. So if you're intimating that you're needed here..or else..I think not.

wed amzn, aapl, cmg, fcx
thurs bidu, bucy, cf, cnx, pot

9 stocks; there's another isrg here..but which one ??

No need to get defensive Bob.

Let your results speak for themselves. So far you're what, 8/10 on direction (taking your word for prior trades from another thread)? Still not so much better than the "run up or down prior to earnings" (tm) system. Oh well.

POT easily has that potential but I believe some of the other fertilizers may have an affect on it pre announcement. BIDU is the other.

You may be onto something..pot could get smoked.

Quote from Bob Rowshan:

aapl could move? Thanks. Actually, while I thank you for posting here, your ticker symbols should contain 1) a direction 2) an entry and exit and 3) accountability.
If you do all 3, even if you're wrong, at least you tried. If you don't post the closing part of your trade, you're no better than atticus saying "buy BSC @ $99" and then nothing afterwards (re: accountability).

Here's Bob's index top at 1150:

Off by ~426 handles. He's made dozens of topping calls which have been trounced by hundreds of handles.

If you know what you are doing, selling naked calls is "low risk, high reward". And seeing how I've made a ton of $$ trading options in my lifetime, I fail to see where the risk is. But thank you for trolling this journal. good day.
