I bought 100 shares of Square (SQ) way back on Sept 7, 2017. Today I sold those shares. Almost 2 years ago I bought 100 shares of SQ at $26.30. I bought these shares to be held in my gift account. In an attempt to free up some cash to get back into my trading, […]

  The odds are, if you’re a Grasshopper, you don’t know what a LEAP is. Not only is it important to know, but I just sold a LEAP. LEAP’s are a very good strategy and I might be doing more in the near future. So, what is a LEAP? Long Term Equity Anticipation Security or […]

I had another nice week. As my account grows, my trade volume increase will follow. Let’s take a look at this week’s trades. My first trade was a Covered Call with Weight Watchers (WW). I bought 1000 shares of WW on 3/5/19 and have been selling Calls on these shares since. This was my 3rd […]

Today, near the close, I was filled on an order I placed to sell 1 RH Call. I closed my computer about 2pm today because I had to leave my home. Today is my son in-law Bob’s birthday. Bob is a contributing writer for Main Street beats Wall Street. He writes in the section “Advanced […]

Today with the market down I jumped out of my Netflix (NFLX) Call. I’ve been holding 100 shares of NFLX for almost 2 years. And I’m up close to 100% on the stock gain. This week I decided to bring in a premium with the selling of a 1 contract Call. The stock was at […]

“Grasshopper Trades,” I’m really starting to love them! I just made another one with RH. If you’re not sure what a Grasshopper is please hit the link. The reason I’m liking these Grasshopper Trades is, #1, I’m teaching options with these trades. I’m dealing with smaller amounts of money where beginners will be able to […]

Several weeks ago I bought 1000 shares of Weight Watchers (WW). I’ve been selling Calls since I bought. Today I sold another Call. I bought the stock on 3/5/19 at $22.00 per share. Since then I sold Calls 4 or 5 times. Each time I received at least a 1% premium. A little while ago […]

Yesterday I sold a Call against 100 shares of Netflix (NFLX) I own. The Call expires this coming Friday. The stock was at $373.25 and I sold the $380 Call. NFLX has been on a tear lately and I thought it was time to level off. Today, with earnings season in full swing, the market […]
