Thanks ARS. Will check the link out. Just bought myself a book called "Options Trading for the Conservative Investor" by none other than Michael Thomsett...up to page 44 so far but really like what I see... Basically he advocates 3 main strategies for options: 1) Using long puts to insure long stock positions 2) Covered call writing against long stock positions 3) Options for contingent purchase plans I especially like how he suggested going long on LEAPS puts and calls + writing a call/put at higher/lower strike price and earlier expiry to hedge risks whilst at the same time earning some income at the same time. Will be trying these out in the coming weeks I reckon. How did your foray into weekly options work out?
