Open Question Time!
Hey Option Traders! So I’ve been thinking…
I hate to just post stuff arbitrarily and hope it’s something you want to read about. I’d rather be writing about the things you want to learn. With that in mind, I’m going to have an open question time. Here’s how it works…
Simply scroll down to the bottom of this post. You will see a box with the words "Leave a Comment" directly above it.
Click your mouse inside that box. Then type out your question.
The question you ask must be about option trading or covered call writing. Also, your question must be straightforward. One sentence that ends in a question mark would be ideal. In other words, I want your question to be succinct, and without all the reasons why you’re asking the question.
Please realize I cannot give personal advice regarding a specific situation or trade you may be facing. I can only provide education. I will provide that education based on the specific questions you ask.
Does all this make sense to you? If so, please scroll down right now and enter your question in the comment box. Click the "Submit Comment" button to send your question to me. I currently have "Comment Moderation" turned on, which means you won’t see your comment appear immediately. I’ll have to approve it before it shows up on this blog.
I guess that about does it. I look forward to hearing what questions you have!
Best regards always,
A.J. Brown
P.S. Depending on the number of questions I receive, I may post my answers all at once, or I may turn the questions and answers into individual posts. Since this is the first time I’ve done this, I’ll just have to wait and see. Thanks again for participating.

Do u trade vertical spreads and if so, which are your preferences - DEBIT spreads(i.e…Bull Call/Bear Put) or CREDIT spreads (i.e..Bull Put/Bear Call)and why?
Dan @ 9:59 pm:
If Covered Calls & Naked Puts are ’synthetically’ the same, why are covered calls considered very conservative strategy, whereas naked puts are viewed as very risky strategy?
michael hillary @ 11:08 pm:
with a stock like google that has so much volatility, i was wondering would it be a bad idea to open a call and a put simultaneously, being that the intra day swings are son far apart at times.

A.J,
When a company makes its way to the watch list (after passing the fundamentals test), do you check later after sometime to know if it still qualify? If yes, how frequent?
A.J. Brown @ 3:55 am:
hi there Jim,
Listen, the situation you describe is one I would never get myself into. I stay away from near term options. The exponential time decay goes against my trading strategy.
Sorry to now want to answer your question. But, I’m all about the easiest way to make massive returns.
A.J. Brown @ 4:02 am:
Although spread trading is interesting, it is not as profitable as flat out trading calls and puts.
When I compare strategies for trading, I look at how easy they are, how profitable they are, and how much time they will take.
Spread trading limits your exposure at the cost of being more complex, taking more time, and being less profitable. Or, at least that’s my opinion.
I rather limit my exposure by being a trader in the know.
