Hello Paul and Others,

As a mediator of an SI forum myself, I realize how much work you have put into your forum. Nice topic and niche in the investment world Paul. Kudos to you and your readers out there. Here is a link to my forum.
Subject 12574

What caught my eyes was your interest in LEAPs which is another area of interest to me along with writing covered calls. I love to do LEAPs spreads and DOW stocks are prime companies which are much more conservative for doing so. In fact, I milk the up and down movements of DOW stocks. In other words, I really don't care which way the DOW stocks move. You can make money buying the LEAPs calls or puts or doing spreads in both directions.

Here is my current run down of the DOW stocks as far as a new buy signal, new short signal, and existing long or short signal. I update the movement twice per week.

I provided the technical indicators that I use exclusively to ascertain the current trend for each stock. I use the SAR, RSI, OBV, and Bollinger Bands. Together, they confirm the major pivot points quite accurately. It is possible to average a conservative 60% to 75% (un-margined) annually if you play both the upward (long) and downward (short) moves of the DOW just trading them in and out and shorting. Using LEAPs would greatly increase the annual ROI% since you only invest a fraction of the DOW share prices. Of course, you have to be a good chart reader in order to use the additional leverage of the LEAPs. I would not use anything with less than one-year in time value.
