Deep-In-The-Money Covered Calls: How To Lower Your Investment Costs & Your Risk

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:10:26 GMT

Recently, I explained the nuts and bolts of covered call investing - a bullish strategy that focuses more on returns than it does on risk. In my column, I used the example of Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY), showing you how to reduce your cost when buying stocks - and thereby increasing your upside potential if the shares move higher. Today, we’re going to kick things up a notch and explain how you can cleverly take the same covered call strategy and add a twist, by using deep-in-the-money covered calls.[More...]

Stocks Hit Resistance; Gold Bullish As Dollar Falls

Tue, 12 May 2009 05:02:09 GMT

Sulaman Chaudhry and Andy Cole send: Well, now that at least one of us is done with finals, we can actually start getting back to focusing on the market. Before we get into the charts, however, The Big Picture has a great article on how banks cut the requirements for the stress tests in half, meaning that at the end of the day, all these tests were just one big joke. Not that this was news to anyone, but it just goes to show how incompetent Geithner and the whole Obama team are. Anyways, to the charts we go: As we had mentioned in previous posts, [More...]

Market Report For Friday: Apr 17, 2009

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:00:45 GMT

(7:11am ET) There was plenty of economic data released in the US during the day; however the equity market sidetracked until 2pm ET, when with prices at modest losing levels on the week until that point, suddenly, and for no discernable reason, there was a rally that left the indexes with small gains through Thursday. Perhaps traders were anticipating a positive quarterly report from Google (GOOG +2.4% on +151% of average daily trading volume)? After the close, the company did not disappoint, beating both revenue and EPS estimates. The company posted net income of $1.42 billion ($5.16/share), up +8% from the $1.31 billion ($4.84/share) recorded during the same period a year ago. Revenue for 1Q2009 increased +10% to $4.07 billion, from $3.7 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs. On average, analysts had expected earnings per share of $4.93 and revenue of $4.08 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. For the first[More...]

Daily Report For Thursday, Apr 16, 2009

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 13:36:24 GMT

(8:25am ET) The main focus of traders today will be the 1Q2009 earnings report from JP Morgan (JPM), and the close scrutiny of the data and hype that will follow. After hitting a low of $14.93 in early March, JPM has rallied +118.1% to yesterday’s close of $32.56. There was a high of $34.15 on Tuesday. http://tinyurl.com/da6dcv JP Morgan reported Q1 net income of $2.14 billion, or $0.40/share, down -10% from a year earlier, but beat analysts' expectations. Revenue increased +48% to $25.03 billion. WSJ reported that CEO Jamie Dimon said the firm extended about $150 billion in new credit to consumer and corporate customers during the quarter. With a last hour rally spurred by the real estate investment trusts (REITS) ($DJR +8.7%) and Banks ($BKX +5.1%) in the Financial sector (XLF +4.8%), the US equity[More...]

Daily Report For Tuesday, Apr 14, 2009

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:18:59 GMT

(9:30am ET) Stocks in NY sank at the open following various negative reports from TV talking heads, though trade volume was weak on the Easter Monday. After the close, Goldman Sachs surprised with unusually positive revenue and earnings. Today, President Obama will be making a speech on the state of the economy. Traders are confused. Yesterday was pretty much a lost day in the market. Very little of consequence happened. By the close, the DJIA’s small loss (-25.57 -0.32% to 8057.81) offset the small gain in the S&P (+2.17 +0.25% to 858.73), while the NASDAQ (+0.77 +0.05% to 1653.31) was flat. The Toronto Composite (+98.50 +1.07% to 9285.6) and the Toronto Venture Board (+11.89 +1.23% to 980.86) were stronger as the metal miners and goldminers enjoyed a good day. Except for Japan’s Nikkei 225 index (-0.92% to 8842.7), prices today were strong in the major international equity markets: Australia (+2.22% to[More...]
