    there is no incentive for the seller to sell so far below par if the debt is secure.... keep the bid open, though if you have nothing to lose

    I didn't see the company rating.... assuming grade A and that it's insured, buying it for 60 cents and getting .0525 pymt is a great deal... it's obviously worth more, but why are there so many more sellers than buyers? in this interest rate environment people are lining up for...

    the prices are ultimately determined by the market forces of supply vs. demand at work.... while futures are potentially artificially inflated, the fact that many countries/companies are buying them is a reality and if it weren't for this very point, then I would agree with all of the...

    I have not traded any options as of yet since I haven't nailed down a good spot to write covered calls.... much of the info in this thread is very helpful since dividends play a large role in ownership of FDG.

    very good point. not to mention the borrow charges... I learned the hard way with a high dividend payer a couple of years back with NFI you are right that people are playing FDG's divvy plan, but they are one of the largest met coal suppliers in the world... they sold a product valued at $95...

    thanks for your insight - after running a couple of scenarios, I understand how I absorb too much downside risk. the obvious bullish step is to buy calls outright, but I want to limit that exposure as well... I bought FDG across a couple of accounts between 60-62. I picked up a pretty nice...

    I have to agree with Russ... only time I owned a condo was when I was involved in a project that was lasted a about year so I didn't want to rent and instead bought a condo during the crazy real estate "boom"... I sold it a year later and netted 35% return on sale price (500% on cash investment)...

    lot's of people talking about an oil bubble that seems to be topic du jour around the bbq grill.... but my argument was this: CNBC and alot of other commentaries were pounding the table on many things that have proved absolutely wrong they said that no way oil will stay above 50, or 60...

    the "new age" way of investing is much faster than before.... jumping on and off the bandwagon is as easy as a computer click... they may not be better informed, but they are definintely faster and consequently the markets are more succeptible to large gyrations

    great questions, Hoop. I believe oil valuations are here to stay - unfortunately the only thing that will stop the steep incline is the US economy that will stop in its tracks - I am keeping my eyes glued to the unemployment numbers and frankly they appear a bit skewed at first glance...

    to add to my thoughts from prior post - there is so much uncertainty in the markets that we just may see $100 levels just as easily as we see $200 levels this year... the volatility is astonishing and it will be difficult to sit tight with certain positions. It's much easier to sit on gains and...
