Comments on: Calls vs Puts http://mytradersjournal.com/stock-options/2007/06/07/calls-vs-puts/ Investing in Stocks Through Options Sun, 20 May 2012 05:09:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: The Trader http://mytradersjournal.com/stock-options/2007/06/07/calls-vs-puts/#comment-46 The Trader Sat, 09 Jun 2007 00:21:45 +0000 http://mytradersjournal.com/stock-options/2007/06/07/calls-vs-puts/#comment-46 Which puts and calls did you buy and what was your reasoning? I'd hate to miss a good opportunity. I've looked at countless sites on options, but don't search for many any more. Most of them, like redoption.com, seem to focus on more advanced options which I don't have time to work. I like a forum I found a couple of months ago called elitetrader.com and another called http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/justcoveredcalls that I mentioned in the post above. Other than that, I spend enough time researching stocks and learning more about stock picking rather than option trading. I'm comfortable with my option knowledge for the trading/investing model I use. That's not to say other models aren't good. A lot of people make better returns than I do and do it for a living. It's just not for me right now. If you can educate yourself on how to pick the right stocks, the options will follow. I suggest reading some books on charting too. I seem to rely more and more on charting while always at least checking the fundamentals. Have you read schaeffersresearch.com? They offer a lot of free material and have some good educational articles too. I wouldn't bother paying for what they write, but still read the free stuff sometimes and always check their ratings before I trade. Which puts and calls did you buy and what was your reasoning?

I was looking for options info when i stumbled across him-see me get rich.com. Thanks for comments about trading. I bought my first 2 puts and bought my first 2 calls the other day to get going. Only $100 bucks each, one expires in July, the other not until January. How many options sites have you ever looked at. Today I noticed RedOption.com and WinningInvestments.com. Any knowledge of these sites? Enjoy the weekend. Kadena I found Associatedcontent.com on a web page “see me get rich”. the guy says he gets paid by Assoc. for written articles, like blogs.
