I find the articles to be very interesting and informative. I'm thinking of trying some Naked Puts based on the info I have got from them.
Everyone of Dan's spam has gone to Joe the moderator. It only takes me a few seconds. If Joe is taking the weekend off, he will have a lot to read when he returns. Is Uncle Dan aware of the consequences of spaming on ET.... a moderated board??? BTW,.... if it continues, and if he gets booted from ET, all his posts disappear as well. I suggest he stop.... before it's too late. No one ever spammed his thread. Don't confuse bantering and difference of opinion... with spamming.
It is NOT his thread, anymore than this is my thread. They are all public threads for all to read and comment on. Who does he think he is, telling people that is his thread, and that we must obey him??? He is just a spoiled child acting out. If it continues... he is going to get spanked.
Quote from NOEXPERT: <<< When you were spaming dans thread you made it very clear that your purpose was to destroy the utility of the thread. >>> Repeating a lie will not turn the lie into truth. But since that's all you have, I expect it to continue.... until you (Dan) have been disciplined by the moderator. <<< This IS a public forum and there is no protection from the passing troll making a nuisance of himself. >>> You (Dan) are correct. You are free to make a nuisance of yourself. But spaming is against the TOS. And since you agreed to the TOS, you must obey ET rules or risk being disciplined by the moderator. <<< If this is not a private thread then what is your objection to dan's posts? >>> Dan (you) is not posting. He is spamming. Dan, why are you using NOEXPERT name to post? If the moderator checks both your IP address he will see you are the same individual with 2 different email address. That is also against TOS. <<< They all appear quite usefull to me >>> They have been useful to me as well, by giving Joe the moderator examples of his (your) and Danshirleys goal to harrass and spam this thread. He's got your spam too. Hope he checks those IP addresses. I don't intend to continue bantering with you. So feel free to continue going down the path to expulsion if you desire. I'm here is discuss options, share my trades, (as the thread suggests), and to learn what I don't know, and to share what I do.... about options. I'll give you (Dan) <same person> the last word.
Since Putz_master has ceeded to me the last word I will take it... if just to see if he has the decipline to not reply. I am sorry and appologize to those readers who have been inconvenienced by this ongoing war between Putz_master and myself. The fact that we hate each-other's guts is really no concern of yours. I, of course, believe that the fault lies with him, and he believes the fault lies with me. Maybe we are both right. I have a practical use to posting my trades and use those postings every day. Because of Putz_master's harassment i have moved my postings elsewhere. So it really doesn't matter to me. There are lots of places to post trades. I originally had everybody on this board on ignore and simply posted my trades for my own use and ignored everybody else. That worked fine for me and for everyone else.... but evidently not putz_master. If you don't log in and browse by and look at the board you will see the postings made by all those people whom you have on ignore. Now I had many people on Ignore for a long time (like atticus for example) but they had realized I ignored them and stopped posting their snide, insulting remarks. In the beginning there were indeed a lot of them... as that has been the tradition of this board. When Putz_master arrived a little while ago and started posting here I began to see snide insulting , inaccurate and downright stupid posts about me from Putz_master... and it made me mad. Then I made the mistake of taking Putz_master off ignore and replying to his crap... and in the process replying to other crap as well. Thus I became a 'boardie'.... the thing I dislike most. This was a mistake and resulted in my wasting a lot of time and emotion on rediculous bantering and argueing, which also wasted some other peoples time in the process. In the last couple of weeks this has served no purpose since I am posting elsewhere and I can only attribute it to my extreme dislike for Putz_master and the reluctance to allow him to keep saying, essentially, that he ran me off. This board has never had a 'social' purpose for me, and indeed I don't think I could ever have any respect for anyone who spends his time posting (in a social sense) to this or any other board. My standard reply would be 'get a life'. So it is my intent to stop posting here with this post... and to NOT look to see if anybody is mouthing off ... so I don't get pissed and start fighting with PM, Atticus or anybody else. We'll see if I succeed. (please don't PM me asking to know where I am going as I certainly don't want anyone from here showing up there)
I don't see his posts as spam. The are very informative and should be taken into consideration before opening a naked put position.
What is the difference between doing a covered write and selling a naked put? Not much, except you have carrying costs for the stock, and you receive time decay for the puts. And, if you're assigned, then you have the stock, right? Keep options as the simple things they are. Don
