Hi from an Options Investor

[Journal Writer]

I just found this forum tonight and like what I've seen so far.

I've been investing in stocks since 1994, just after college. I invest through options. I enter positions by selling naked puts and if assigned the stock I sell covered calls. I'm not really a trader or even a long term investor. I try to sell options 1-2 months out and then I try to exit with just the premium in my pocket. I've used this strategy since 2000 and have done well most of the time, but have taken some hits too.

I'm interested in meeting others who invest/trade through naked puts and covered calls and those who want to learn to do so.

My full trading model and more about me is on my blog - My Trader’s Journal.

Hi, guys! How are you doing here? I'm New here.

I like SSO and DDM when the Dow hits 12,700 (if it does) or as a long-term play; in other words, you don't need the money for 20 years and you plan to keep the investment at least 5 years.
