I was just looking at recovery spreads on Dougs Stock Emporium, and I have a simple question. When one says, "go short a call", that means sell a call, correct? Whereas going long a call means to purchase the call. Sorry for my level of simplicity.

Hi Tuck, WINs is an acromn for Withdrawing, Increasing, Neutral, and Sideshows. Basically, an approach that describes what action(s) investors can take to capture profit potentials. There are many ways to setup for a profit. But, new investors sometimes don't know where to even start. Even long term investors can sometimes improve their returns and lower their risk and stress. We need to get Doug to post the PowerPoint presentation on his web site that I finished a two weeks ago. That way, folks can download this freebie and get a gist of what we are talking about. I have started the more detailed CD interactive version. That will dwell more on the technical analysis part of BB and RSI. Plus, how to use all the tools on Web site as part of the resources. It will be one stop shopping for investors. Doug's charts provide for free right now features and information that I know are products and services being sold right now at much higher combined cost. Take the options calculator. The formula is public domain stuff. But, there are individuals selling Excel templates with that information. People are playing for the time involved in putting that template together. Well, you can have it for free at this point. Let's ask Doug to release the PowerPoint freebie!
