.......... I am a gorilla investor........... The most comforting idea I got out of the gorilla game was the suggestion that once a company is determined to be a gorilla one should invest into it whenever money is available. Whether the stock is up, down or overvalued just buy it for it is a gorilla. The question I have is how does one apply that idea to investing with options and maximizing return? The answer I came up with is to buy calls. Diversify: - through strike price (in, at, out) - through time (near term, mid term and leaps) Then roll (in, at, out, up): -Best returns have been from rolling during short term corrections. -Have rolled well in advance of strike date to protect from being caught in a correction with no time to recover. - Have rolled at all time highs. Gorillas seem to make all time highs frequently so this has not presented a problem. - I roll whenever an option becomes deep in the money. - I have rolled when option has lost money I think this strategy is working because I am doing it with a gorilla. Did I over simplify what Mr. Moore was trying to teach us?
