Re: [TheOptionClub.com] Re: Options Sectors

 

Bill Cara's website (free) does a slew of rankings at the end of each market day.
It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but is very informative nonetheless.
See for example:

[TheOptionClub.com] Ranking

 

I'm currently searching for a website, free or paid, which each day ranks the highest correlation stocks, and/or etfs. This would be the options trade filter prior to execution. Any particular favorites for those who have/do trade based on correlation. I appreciate the help.

[TheOptionClub.com] Re: Options Sectors

 

If I remember right, IBD has their own groups that don't match the more common clasifications.

You might want to check out http://www.finviz.com/groups.ashx and you can select sector or industry. Totally free - and I am into free!

Re: [TheOptionClub.com] Options Sectors

 


Investors business daily ranks sectors based on past/current performance metrics.
Ameritrade has a few free ranking services in the research section.
Let me know if you want me to be more specific if you have a TDA account.

Hello All,

Does anyone have a copy of the ANCO OptionBook Software? This was/is an options analysis package which included: pricing; risk graphs; price probabilities; time delay; etc. It used to be distributed free by ANCO Futures, but they were bought out by PFGBest and no one there has any copies left. Would appreciate if someone has a copy whether they could email file - note: it was free from ANCO so no copyright/distribution issues.

Thanks in advance,

[TheOptionClub.com] Options Club Trading Room

 

Hello everyone,&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;I'm a new member here and enjoying the discussions. By way of introductions, I traded options for a few years about 12 years ago and did quite well. Then took a long hiatus and have gotten back into it as of the last few months. I am again, considering trading as my business. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;I'm wondering if anyone is a member of the OptionClub's Trading Room and has taken the 11 Module course? It looks excellent from the free videos I've seen and I like the idea of Iron Condors and other multiple leg spreads, though I've not done them before. Only simple options positions. I'm looking for reviews and feedback on your experiences with the Trading Room and, especially, the course..... anyone?&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Thanks in advance,&#13;&#10;Suzanne

Re: [TheOptionClub.com] Options Sectors

 

Here are some sites wheres you can sort/rank industry groups by various criteria:

http://www2.barchart.com/secmoves.asp?sort=&what=one_year&start=all

http://www.prophet.net/explore/sectorPerformance.jsp

http://finviz.com/groups.ashx?g=industry&v=120&o=name

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s_conameu.html

Not sure if those are the types of things you're looking for?  All have a top-down hierarchy to get to the individual stocks.

RE: [TheOptionClub.com] Old Leaps What to do?

 

While trying to research what CSE means, I came across this article:
http://ezinearticles.com/comment.php?Compound-Stock-Earnings-A-Brief-Overview-and-Review-of-the-CSE-Options-Trading-Techniques&id=1318604

The commentator of the article said he lost money on CSE in current market condition. In my opinions, a straight covered-call-writing using stock is the same as "short naked put. And, covered-call using LEAP is like long-term calendar spread. Both short-naked-put and long-term-calendar require some "directional" interpretation on the market condition. I used to selling covered-call and made tons of money and thought I was a genius. But once I realized what I have been doing, I no longer doing CSE.

My suggestion is for you to realized what CSE really means. If you agree that CSE is actually a "somewhat" directional trade, you will have to understand your interpretation on GSE's direction. If you really believe it will go up for the next 3 months, keep your position. If you believe it will not go up that much, save youself some money by closing your postion now.

How about selling a lower-strike call for more credit? If you really have no idea where GSE is going, don't even think about sell a lower strike call like 12.5 or 15 for credit. A sudden jump on the stock will scare you to lose more money.

I know this is tough. You are not alone. I have many good lessons learned like this.

Subject: [TheOptionClub.com] Old Leaps What to do?

 

I've been stuck with a leap position in GBX left over from the days I was experimenting with CSE techniques. I owned the stock, was selling calls against it, but then the stock just tanked. One of the CSE techniques of rescuing the trade involved exchanging the stock for a leap, and now I am stuck with 10 of the GBX Jan10_20calls. My cost basis is $8.84 and it is now at 0 bid, .30 ask. The leaps were purchased in March of '08. I haven't done anything with this position since last September except to watch theta eat away at it while the price of the stock continued to sink. Anyway, is there anything I can do with this position to maybe generate a pittance of income until it expires? Any ideas at all?

Thanks,
RFH
