I looked at Ameritrade online to see how much my dad would need to start trading, and it appeared to be 2,000, but we weren't sure if that would allow options trades. We'll see. I have a new going forward plan. It's my "slow it down to speed it up" plan replacing my "pile up as fast as possible" one. I checked stockcharts.com default P&F breakout chart on each of the 30 Dow stocks. 12 had price objectives, based upon that technical, of going up, 16 had lower objectives, and 2 were recently "met" and had no new indication. I will update this info monthly to track it, and use it for my long term stock picks, as well as aiding near term option choices. Also, I chose some categories with definite per centages as a "pie" for my funds. some will be cash, options, stocks, cd, bonds, etc. this may slow near term profit taking, but will prevent my ever having summers like the last 2 have been. For an honest question, as my holdings round into the new plan, and hopefully success follows, are you interested in knowing my portfolio setup and how it's doing? Not sure if I've asked that before. Well, the last 1000 DOW points up and down have been fun, makes you wonder what's next..... So glad this option expiration closed alright for you.
