Hi Holland, Glad you posted! Regarding the summer, he did ok in July 2000, but August 2000 was a smaller return. Natenberg didn't have a system, he just wrote that buying ATM close to expiration could work. Today I read the same thing by Caplan in The New Options Advantage. Some months there are 2 picks, not 1, but you make a good point. $900 would go a long way towards purchasing one of those expensive options programs, like the Optionvue 5 I'm considering. :) What software do you use for analysis?
