I'd also like to hear more contributions on the board, while I've learned a lot from Porter it's also nice to hear about different trading strategies that Porter can't delve into in great detail due to the watchdogs monitoring him. Call option premiums have fattened up over the past few months due to the implied volatility of tech stocks like CLS, JDU, RIM, etc. One way around this to some extent is to buy deep in the money calls where you give up some leverage but the option's delta gives you the oppotunity to buy a proxy for stocks when you buy contracts several months out from expiry. Here's my question, what are people looking at out there these days? The fat premiums make covered calls a more attractive alternative than in the past (i.e. BCE) but there must be some other undervalued calls available. One I'm looking at currently in BCH. Porter, a quick question for you, why aren't there LEAPS available for BCE and NT in Canada? I'd have figured there be more demand for these contracts than for TRP, etc. Thanks.
