Good news for tomorrow. Fez ___________________ Wednesday March 10, 9:21 pm Eastern Time Nikkei firmer at midday on optimism over economy TOKYO, March 11 (Reuters) - Tokyo stocks were higher by midday on Thursday as buying on optimism that the Japanese economy is slowly improving outweighed selling by investors taking profits after two straight days of gains, traders said. ''Talking to investors, it seems there is an 'if I don't get in now, I could lose out' kind of mentality,'' said a trader at Daiwa Securities Co. ''Many people have been underweight Japan for a long time in general and have been looking to get back into the market.'' The Nikkei 225 average added 81.43 points or 0.53 percent to 15,561.43. March Nikkei futures stood 120 points higher at 15,550.

tom...re your prototype strategy... good luck, i have been doing it for several years...cash flow based on your capacity is immediate...you can do puts against cash or capacity..i do a bit of both...like to reinvest and grow portfolio..i try to stay only with large cap techs...dell,msft,intc,etc...which give a +15% per annum cash/cash return...usually ends up much higher....the benefit of growing shares in your portfolio is two fold...capital appreciation(of course)...and the ability to write covered calls out of the money in flat/down markets... experts say it won't work...but as you see there are several on the thread who constantly use the strategy...perhaps a bit foreign to the experts...easier to buy on margin ? than use other peoples money... ed a.
