[TheOptionClub.com] Re: Dan Sheridan on Calendar Spreads for 2010 (Live Web Event)

 

Chris, I suspect that this will be nothing short of GREAT! I'm a big fan of Dan Sheridan. In fact, when I took his one day seminar at the CBOE, it turns out we went to the same high school (but not the same years, of course!). He's great to listen to, talk to, and just be with.

I'm sure some of us other "working stiffs" will be asking, so let me be first. Will this be recorded and available for download or some kind of streaming video in the future?

Thanks,
Rob Hansen

Re: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] rmbs

 

Schwab will (or at least would) let you do calender spreads if you are/were " the right person".  I do not know how you achieve that stature.  I know I talked to someone and somehow magically am now allowed to do cc's against leaps in both my regular and IRA accounts.    No,  I do not remember who that someone was!  It was, if I remember the time frame, about 4 months ago, a trial program for IRAs.  As best I could see, you needed to have enough equity to cover the problems if they came up -- e.g.. the short call neded to be bought back.

Can an investor buy leaps and sell CCs against them?  Schwab only lets me buy stock and sell covered calls or do unwinds.  Any places let a small CC investor do this?

Dec 30, 2009 (SmarTrend(R) Spotlight via COMTEX) ----SmarTrend identified an Uptrend for Rambus (NASDAQ:RMBS) on November 12, 2009 at $18.34. In approximately 2 months, Rambus has returned 33.4% as of today's recent price of $24.46.
Rambus is currently above its 50-day moving average of $19.40 and above its 200-day moving average of $15.93. Look for these moving averages to climb to confirm the company's upward momentum.
SmarTrend will continue to scan these moving averages and a number of other proprietary indicators for any shifts in the trajectory of Rambus shares.

According to the Briefing.com rumor mongering financial news site, software giant Oracle - not even finished with its $7.4bn acquisition of Sun Microsystems - is sniffing around middleware and virtualization maker Citrix Systems and may be interested in acquiring the company.In the same report, you'll find that Briefing.com is also hearing chatter about someone wanting to acquire Rambus, with HP being mentioned as the possible buyer of that memory company.

This is really nice, Chris. Thanks for organizing this.

I knew you had many solid contacts in the industry:-) but didn't think your ladder reached up-to Sheridan Mentoring.

Cheers Vikas

To kick things of in 2010, Dan Sheridan from Sheridan Mentoring will be
joining us on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, at 3:00 p.m. CST (1:OO p.m. PST)
to share as much information as he can about calendar spreads in one
hour.

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/750648578

The above link will get you registered.

We have a limited number of spots for this event so I encourage you to
1.) register now (not later), and 2.) log into the event 10 to 15
minutes early.

I think most of our members are familiar with Dan...

He is one of the most popular instructors over at the CBOE and
approaches all of his trading with a light sense of humor and keen
insight. He is particularly adept at income trades and has helped many
of us sharpen our skills on iron condors, calendar spreads, and more.

With the launch of his own mentoring business, Dan's time has been in
short supply. The fact that he has set aside some of it for us is
incredibly generous, so it would really be a shame if you missed this.

Get yourself registered, enjoy a very happy and safe New Year holiday,
then I will see you next week following Tuesday's market close!

Hi John,

 

I assume that these were the January 2011 leaps. Are you planning to write shorter term calls against these leaps, or was the purchase to be held in the expectation that the stock price will rise?
