Sold MON Naked Put

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 27 Jun 2008

This is turning into a recurring theme for me.  Instead of finding new stocks to trade on, I’m going back to previous winners and trading again.  This time I came back to Monsanto (MON) to try to squeeze out another …

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 26 Jun 2008

Filed under: Finance, Stock Charts - 24 Jun 2008

I’ve only made one trade for August options expiration and that was a covered call.  I just can’t find the stocks I want to sell naked puts on.  I have one limit order in to sell naked puts on NVDA again.  …

Sold Covered Calls on VIP Shares

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 23 Jun 2008

Filed under: Finance, Indices, Stock Charts - 22 Jun 2008

When I first charted the Dow Jones Industrial Average, aka DJIA (ticker: $DJI) this morning I looked at the three month daily chart to see how bad the short term looked.  I missed charting last week, but would have pointed out …
