Covered calls are great to lock in some profits, imo. Or, if you want to limit your profit, you can write a call and use the $ to offset buying a put but now you're being ultra conservative and will make minimal $.
If you want to use options for speculation, I like strangles and straddles. All these guys talking about spreads sound fancy but in reality I don't think they come away with a ton of money. When you buy options you're either right or you're not. Writing an option to offset the purchase price of another option well, just makes you feel better about your loss but will also limit your gains. Then there is the Warren Buffet style of how to use options. When Warren wants to buy stock he writes naked puts. You write the put at the price you are willing to live with on a stock even if it goes below. You collect the premium if the stock keeps going up. If it goes down, you get the stock at the price you want + collect premium. |

We are looking finding a new credit card and possibly bank/checking account. The best credit card i could find id through USAA that gives 2.5% cashback, but i am open to suggestions. What about best checking or savings account?

My Capital One savings account is paying .75%. They have a Money Market that will pay 1.3% on $10k or more. Maybe not the best but definitely better than a lot. And the CapOne Checking account pays .20%....again, not bad

X getting a boost today

As a result of DOC's preliminary decision, U.S. importers of cold-rolled and galvanized steel from Vietnam must make cash deposits equal to the applicable duties. DOC's final decision could be as early as February 2018. "The Commerce Department's finding of circumvention represents a critical step to shutting down one of the many paths used to flood the U.S. with dumped and subsidized steel. This decision presents an encouraging sign for the steel industry and should put other countries and companies on notice that their cheating will no longer be tolerated. We urge Secretary Ross and President Trump to continue to aggressively crack down on unfairly traded steel imports, including immediate and broad action in the Section 232 investigation on steel imports and national security |

I'm with Fideltiy in terms of credit card -- auto cash back deposited into my brokerage cash management account. For spare cash, I'm also with Capital One. I've had cash or CDs with them for well over a decade. Their interest rates are always very competitive.

It seems a lot of the "big boys" are pulling money out of tech and putting it back into building and financials. I picked up some (ALLY) the other day. Also, BTW , I'm wrong 50% of the time. The other 50% I've been right half the time. |

Speaking of covered call on stocks that have some room to grow (slowly) but always pay out a nice dividend. Ford Motor fits that category for many investors. Was googling some information and this game up. Nice summary.

This might be a little Gem:
The Investor Ideas video creates a glimpse into the future of AI with thoughts from Steve Wozniak, Amazon, Square, Morgan Stanley and HSBC. There is also a recently released video from emerging IoT company Gopher Protocol Inc.

Very interesting stuff still happening at GE. Fascinating to read about. Lots of speculation.
