Dan, Why are we buying calls out of the money? aren’t like 70-80% of put and call buying end up worthless? wouldn’t in the money call like May 33 call for $2.47 is a better value? for just a $1 more in premium we already get $1.45 of theoretical value, and we will be making money for day one shall the stock move up with limited decay. For a covered call strategy I would agree with you. Please give us your thoughts.
His strategy is a play on the volatility squeeze thru a run to earnings. Much cheaper options just out of the money in case this doesn’t work… This from what I understand is about a week long play at most unless it keeps going up…. This is my opinion of it.
Dan, can you please list the updates in a text format, so we can see it as soon as we get a the email? It’s a hassle to watch video, especially when at work or in transit, today, it’s taking forever to get the video to load (even if i managed to get a chance at work to watch the vedio). i know you want to give us a good rationale as to why you want to make this trade and update, but, in order to see the updates, we are forced to watch video is really unnecessary.
as of now, i still don’t know what the updates are.
Gatordave is soooo right. I watched the video a couple times because, now and then, Dan seems to ramble… but, don’t let your mind wander, becse he doesn’t ramble. He starts slinging those pearls around, and it can take a few minutes… lots of minutes to get a hold of ’em, and string ’em up… but… it is soooo worth it! Option trading is NOT easy. Heck, trading isn’t easy. And there are so many tactics. I love Dan’s idea of helping to lead us… but not push. He teaches concepts of self-discipline and forces us to consider choices. CHK will either work out very soon, or not! Thanks Dan, for helping us to ‘think the trade.’
Good trading idea. I wish I would have got up earlier and kicked the PC on. I just can’t dig in at work… I went in small. I wonder how else I may have done this had I watched the video.
Often I wish either these ideas came out earlier or I lived on the West Coast… lol At least I get them to my mobile email so I don’t miss them by much.

Arie, Just watch the video. The questions are answered and the rest of the info is outstanding.
