On any one month, I have had about 3% of my total portfolio invested in calls. The rest is in stocks and cash. I almost always buy the calls 1...
Obviously I am not on the same wavelength as some of the other posters. I am not a good stock picker. I rely on newsletters and columnists for...
An example will help. Let's look at the prices to close - open a 40-45 POG spread for various months. POG closed at 51.06 on Friday. March...
What you put in quotation marks is not a quote from me. What I am confident of is that I can pick a class of stocks, which with high probability,...
