OT maybe So you believe 90% of one's portfolio should be long term and only 10% for risk? Should the 90% be held (period) and not traded: should you be "watching" that 90% at all? How do you then generate cash from your portfolio...and since I think its probably from selling calls and puts, how do you know when to do that, on what stocks to do it, and at what price? Can you safely sell covered calls on ALL your core holdings if its at the right time (I imagine when the stock is making new highs and going up more than you could imagine) and sell puts on ALL your core holdings if you do it when the stock tanks because of an unusual earnings warning or bad news or market tanking? But in that case how do you know that the earnings warning was unusual (Well I guess BMCS and DELL would qualify) or that the bad news was temporary? Also...if a sold put or call goes against you, do you get out or hold on because its temporary? And how do you judge that? I've obviously been "playing" with things I dont know the ramifications of... And I'd like to feel happier for one thing, which I will when I think I have the portfolio under control. But I dont want to think it is under control again if its a fool's judgement I'm making. Freeus
