Hi Robert; TO ALL, I dumped remainder of my puts this morn, lost
on some of them. Glad I sold other half yesterday..I may buy back
later today but if so will take the AOLSKs the SJs to far out of
the money.
Robert; The aufhauser deal looks good for a trader, what if you
exceed the 20 times a month..do they have some Mutual Funds,
NO LOAD no Transaction fee ...and BIG QUESTION IS what about options..is trading options in that 20 times a month?
My stock trades run $12 each way up to 5000 shares..it's my options
that cost me, $30 for first contract and 1.25 for each after..
that's one reason I lean for out of the money options , they are
cheaper..to were I can do a lot more contracts..adding on only
1.25 per contract..were if I do more expensive ones I wind up
paying more in commissions ( per contract ) like 30 contracts
at 1/2 cost me $67.5 comsh. or 2.25 per contract, were 10 at 1.5
cost 42.5 but that equals 4.25 on a per contract basis. SO my
cost per contract goes down with more contracts in the order,
hence I'm at times inclined to swing to far out of the money.
-----------------------
Last thoes are the rough figures , I do get a 10% off as I trade
them over the web. Also the $12 fee is only for web trading.
-----------------------------
