CRA cc's April 130's fetch $19 3/4.

For most of the day CRA was trading below 130.

Almost 20% interest in 1 month's time.
With margin 40%...

Now that is stress free investing...

...too bad Fidelity hasn't processed my options application yet.

Sorry but I just have to say this. From reading the posts last night and this morning, I regret ever having recommended any friend of mine to follow the CC info by reading this board themselves. Some friends are spared as I just copy, paste and send relevant stuff. I know the people involved in these garbage posts believe they are being clever and funny. They seem to be blissfully unaware of how pathetic it all sounds. Too bad there isn't a good philosophy class on this board to go along with the CC stuff. There are ways to live and experience life without mocking, being disrespectful or gross. Imagine that. No one in life has more fun than those who see life through good hearts that hold other people in high regard instead of picking them apart. I don't usually get on a soapbox but, really, this is sad. This isn't directed at you, Voltaire, I just had to click on someone's name in order to post. The tone of this board needs an upgrade.

Good morning V (and to all).

With regards to your recomendation (can I call it a recomendation?) to sell CC on the August 100 ELON and obtaining 31, wouldn't it be better to sell the Aprils for 12, and continue to do so each month down the line instead of several months down the line. In this way, there is more flexability in planning future strategies and less of a sense of being married to these calls?
