1) I don't "believe" what I read on any thread. I always find the info interesting but for instance the real estate bust thread which has been going strong for years and has good info, was started in 2001...and we've been in a crazy r.e. bull since then i.e. nobody can predict the market, any market, mr. market is diabolical, you do your best 2) I certainly am not going to sell calls, I'm not that high stakes a player and not willing to take the risk of that kind of play going the wrong direction on me. I would sell puts because I could pocket the premium and/or at a price I felt comfortable owning the stock. But I was thinking mainly on AAPL and I think near term, it's going to do just fine and i'd pocket the premium. I don't sell puts far out and I don't do it that often. 3) Do I think the market can remain levitated? It's remained levitated beyond what anybody expected, hasn't it? I understand that the yield curve is flattening and there's a good chance we're headed for a recession, and yet, who knows how long we can play this out. Maybe longer than those on this thread expect.
