Thanks Jim! BTGC and TNSI CRITIQUE Doug and I were discussing the TNSI and BTGC PUTs situation and why they went caput so far. This is the first time this type of stall has occured on this forum and personally for me. We need to learn something from it to not make the same mistake or mis-judgement. We should strive for 100% execution but realistically 8 out of 10 would be a fantastic outcome. The cases presented on this forum have resulted in pretty much that average. It goes to show you that CCing is still the king of bread and butter regular income. Sideshows with PUTs and CALLs will always carry more risk when traded alone. The profits are also greater with sideshows. Sideshows associated with a existing long position to hedge or pickup extra income is much less risky. I'm losing on the BTGC and TNSI bear traps so far. I used my CC premies off BTGC and I had a big kahuna with TLAB. I don't like to give back money to the stock market. But, it is a fact of life in this game. Those just starting out should build up the bigger pot CCing first following the W.I.N.S. guidelines. CPQ TIMBER askresearch.com In the meantime, CPQ may drop a bit lower before it levels off. Look at the old price level on the chart to the left. Thanks for sharing your results. NEW FREE EXCEL TEMPLATE PS - We had another lurker tweak the Excel template recently. You may want to pay a visit to Doug's Emporium at webbindustries.com to see if he has posted it! Thanks John!
