hi pinhi, in a bull market you probably will. It is still supply and demand and volatility. However 3% with margin is 6% per month and remember what we have said. $8,000 left alone and reinvested at 7% for 6 years is a million. Just take the amount you have now, divide by 8 and multiply. Not bad. V

Hi Pinhi I haven't really formally introduced myself but I've been around for a while, standing back in the shadows kind of. I think your question is really relevant. I'm thinking about pulling the plug and retiring, being able to do so by writing covered calls on my "vehicle". But, the question begs, what if that vehicle can only produce 3%/month in the future. Maybe I shouldn't be so hasty. I don't know and it's damned irritating and scary and maybe it's not fair to ask Volt to look into a crystal ball either but its a good question none the less. Rose.
