    "I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million...."

    INVESTING 
    Collars I think I could do it with collars and some leverage. The best part is that I am to the point where I can do it and lock in gains. Little gains compounded are better than big gains with the occasional loss. I have tracked my own data to verify this. Hence, Warren Buffett's rule...

    Stock Collars

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Time for Another Update This will probably be a brief update since it is getting late and I don't feel like writing a lot. GG--Basis is now 27.58 with an outstanding call at 40. I have puts with a strike at 36. Clearly I have locked in my profits. I am simply trading up and down adding cash...

    Stock Collars

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Well, it has again been awhile since I updated this thread. That doesn't mean, however, that I have given up on collars. It simply means that I have been pretty busy this summer. I think I might finally be getting the hang of investing with the collars and knowing what adjustments to make. I...

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Thanks, MJ. Again, it has been quite some time since I updated the collar results. I am still trading them, rolling up calls, rolling down calls, buying new puts, etc. I thought I would provide a quick update while I am taking a break from some other things. Retirement Accounts-- GG...

    Dow poised for a big drop?

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Hakrjak, Jonleehacker is absolutely correct. Do NOT trade on emotion. Develop a system with rules and stick with it. That system may involve dollar-cost-averaging, value-averaging, index funds, diversification, asset allocation, options, etc. Regardless, figure something logical out and...

    Dow poised for a big drop?

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Thursday's action is why I like and use collars in my retirement account. I prefer to hold puts and not stops. I only saw the action after-the-fact since I was travelling with family. I took a small hit in value but that is because I do not have calls sold on everything. In the account...

    I will post another update a little later since I am still working with and refining my collar strategy. In the meantime, I would like to answer and respond to a question that was posed to me. Here is the question: First of all, let me say that this question is very insightful. I have...

    Silver, the Poor Man's Gold

    INVESTING HOT! 
    So, anyone end up buying more? Silver spot is over $17 now and gold spot is over $1140. I have been trading SLW, GG, and AUY using collars. Doing well with GG and SLW. Missed some timing on AUY.

    Building Virtual Real Estate

    Just a quick update. I am getting a little more traffic gradually on the blog and starting to think about niche sites. I am almost to the point of being able to self fund it so I will likely get started just after the first part of the year. I have a huge work project that I need to get done...

    Sam40, Just click on the "My Blog" link in the signature of this forum. I post every few days at most. I plan on doing an earnings report on a quarterly basis.

    I agree with crystite as well. The next step will be to work on my own niche site in a topic about which I have a passion. The earnings from HubPages, eHow and Xomba will fund that site. I am almost (0.88 away) to my first Google payout. That means I should get a $100 check by the end of...

    Building Virtual Real Estate

    I thought it would time for a quick update on progress thus far: My tentative income goal for September was $60 for the month (or $2/day). It doesn't look like I will make it, but I have already earned more than last month. I will post my first 4 months of earnings on my blog after...

    55k to invest

    mftps, I would reconsider the market but educate and use puts and collars. You are right that you can't control what a stock will do, but you can control risk.

    Cheap dollars are sowing the seeds of the next world crisis

    agree with you completely, randall I am not "betting the farm" but own a fair amount of CHK which will benefit such a scenario.

    It's been awhile since I updated this thread so I thought I should do that with the little bit of time I have. GG--Enjoying the run in gold. I have been making adjustments. Sold some shares this week at $43.14. Selling calls and buying back as necessary. Bottom line is that I am holding...

    Absolutely, that would be the next step. I do have a plan in early "ether" form. It will probably be awhile still since I am learning and want to build up the income first. But, yes, that is the tentative plan.
