Dan... Here is the Thread info...would love to see you over there: current post started by FaultLine Date: May 1, 2001 7:46 PM The Covered Calls for Dummies Thread Welcome to the Covered Calls for Dummies thread. This is the place to post your thoughts, questions, and comments on how to use covered calls to generate monthly returns from LTB&H tech investments. The thread is geared, as its title suggests, to beginners and/or those interested in relatively simple and straightforward strategies. We hope that polite, honest discussion of our plans, successes, and failures will sharpen our investing skills and teach us how to harness the volatility in our portfolios. Oh, and please fill in your personal profile as much as possible so we know who we're dealing with. Resources Option chains are available on the NASDAQ website at: options.nasdaq.com Select this reference and then type the company symbol in the URL address box after the "selected=" or in the text edit box labelled "Add a Security". Save a bookmark to the page. The CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) website at cboe.com contains some useful introductory material. McMIllan's book (McMillan, L. G.,Options as a Strategic Investment, 3rd ed, p.83, New York Institute of Finance, Paramus, NJ, 1993.) is often mentioned by posters on this thread. It is the "should have" tome on option strategies according to most people. The first few chapters are the most useful ones for our purposes. A popular book on LEAPS strategies is LEAPS: Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securites: What They Are and How to Use Them for Profit and Protection by Harrison Roth. Best, PoetTrader
