Notes
- Tried without success to get any bites on buy/writes on DOW with debit amounts giving me any profit at all. My CCU order barfed on Schwab when I tried to do the buy/write at $25
- GSF on the other hand happily gave me a profit of 0.21 on 47.5 calls, I had tried 0.25 for a while with no takers, but 0.21 went immediately--left a few pennies at the table I guess. Ex-Div is tomorrow, so I expect/hope my position to be short-lived.
- I tried a zero profit offer with DOW -- ( $35 call with a debit of $35, but no takers). I ran a "science experiment" with DOW to see if the buy/write was not working well. I bought DOW at 38.01 and then tried to split the 3.0 / 3.2 spread on the $35 call with a 3.1 offer. Even though DOW got up to 38.04 there were no takers. I chickened out at that point and took my $28 in profits....
- On FBR: I tried a Buy/Write for $7.5 July Calls at 7.45 debit -- no takers
- On FBR: Since the options will almost certainly be assigned I wanted a little money up front
- On BBY: I did a Buy/Write for $42.5 July Calls at 42.35 debit -- it took an hour to fill!
- On BBY: It will interesting to see if the BBY Calls get assigned -- 3 weeks left before expiration
- Found an interesting web site www.amextrader.com -- gives ex-dividend dates a few days in advance
