Re: GMST & G&K Thread.

Apparently GMST has been demoted in the primate pecking order as the set-top guide market per Mike Buckley (aka Merlin) has been downgraded from tornado warning to tornado watch.

Writing naked puts is a whole lot riskier than covered calls on the downside. Some, however, would argue that if risk is also measured in opportunity loss, then potentially covered calls have some risk as well.

I think Volt's general theory that most (not all) of the time writing the premium puts greater odds on one side has merit, but a lot depends on premium levels. CBOE volatility index up over 30 today (I think 31.88) which is pretty high. Good luck. We are all "just learning."

>>Voltaires CC strategy for INCOME but not a strategy for growth I think.<<

Writing cc's monthly on a stock in a bullish cycle and netting > 10 % /month then reinvesting and writing cc's again sounds like a great strategy for growth, but hey, I'm no rocket scientist!
