Hi all. Thanks to all that have kept the blog alive and well over this last year. I have had many many questions regarding where or what I'm up to and why avoiding posting on the blog. My only excuse is pretty lame but I really have been busy the last year. This past week I spent in the Caribbean spending some hard earned money while chartering a nice Lagoon catamaran.. I'm now home and want to add to the blog I have branched out into doing some investing for others. This has burned up lots of time and energy but paid the bills. So again I am going to try and do a posting more than weekly. I have changed a lot of my strategy mainly for easy trades but I still do a lot of Iron condors. A condor I really like for the coming week is trading at a ridiculous profit of over 10% per week if opened now. I will wait for a few days and look again but if nothing happens soon I will jump in.... Look at Face Book FB trading at 64.35 Buy the weekly 55.5 for around ..04 - \ Sell the weekly 58 for ..09 make around ..05 today Sell the 70 for ..16 and buy the 72.5 for .10 make around ..06 If this works you would make around .16 and a cost of 2.50 each for a profit of over 4% a week. I will wait until Tuesday to do this trade so the profit will drop some but I will still try for 5% for a three/four day trade. Waiting gives me the chance to re-evaluate and adjust the strikes used or even if I want to do the trade. On many of the accounts I manage the owners want a little safer way of trading so I have gone to the simple covered calls. FB has reported earning and should continue upwards? Again I like FB for most of these. I also do some EBAY. When doing covered calls I use the next strike available. With FB I am buying lots of them and selling the weekly 65 calls. The goal with these is to get called! I use a lot of margin so this ups the profit but adds some element of risk but my accounts are ok with some risk if care and thought go into them. So there you have a few of the trades I am doing these days. I hope to hear from you traders regarding what you think and how you are trading this weeks available trades. Jerry
