<<<Hi Gary...Something else you might consider is the "writing" of calls on stocks you own but are looking to sell. Occasionally you find some pretty nice premiums leading to a pretty good % return.>>>
The truth of the matter is that I haven't progressed that far in my 6 years of trading but hopefully will sometime in the future. As an aside, I currently only have only puts in my portfolio with the exception of some calls on CBST.
I do try and learn from "trade options with OJ" on SI. Maybe someday I will get "it".
