Greetings from the COOL Club Dude, I am sorry we had to take a short break but I am happy to announce that we will resume COOL_Club sessions this week. Just a reminder for those who have not attended our sessions, COOL_Club stands for Covered ...
I am new to the process of selling covered options but I have been doing a lot of reading. I was referred to the COOL_CLUB sight for additional insight and have found the presentations and discussions to be invaluable. With that, I set up an ...
Hi Everyone, Unfortunately life has intervened and we will need to cancel the COOL Club meeting scheduled for this Wednesday evening. But rest assured, the COOL Dude will be back online on November 7 and will be monitoring and participating in your discussions on the ...
We've been discussing issues with selling covered options across earnings releases. We're experiencing some of the fury today. But what about our upcoming Election Day? Do you think there is reason to have similar concerns about the potential for that to have some extreme impact ...
I sold some CSPs on ALGN this morning - before seeing Paul's e-mail (honest). After the carnage of a 25% price drop following the earnings release, and after a real quick review of the release, I didn't see anything that looked THAT bad for the ...

Paul's next Cool Club presentation will reflect on selling options during earnings season and I thought all the cool dudes and dudettes who read this discussion list would be interested in seeing a chart that shows the distribution of earnings reports by day for this ...

One of the questions asked during tonight's Cool Club meeting was where to find Delta. Here are two places to look. The Options Industry Council : optionsXpress : Additionally, if you hover over the word, Detail , a pop-up will display all the Greeks for ...
Sharon, You had mentioned that you had placed some QSII Oct $17.50 puts during a recent COOL Club session, so we are tracking them on our COOL Club homepage. I just looked and they are doing well. I'm personally curious how you picked those puts ...
Hi everyone, Malcolm asked me about a spreadsheet for tracking options trades. When I started thinking about it, I realized that you can actually use bivio to easily track your options trades. You wouldn't be accounting for a club, but you could track a personal ...
Hi everyone, About 2 - 3 weeks ago, I started the process of getting approval for options trading at Vanguard (since we already had accounts there). To apply, I had to print a form from Vanguard's website, complete the application and mail it in (I ...
