It seems like the technologically advanced Japanese have moved passed the stone age technology of the 4 digit pin numbers for gettting cash from ATMs. Now when Japanese consumers want to withdrawal money all they have to do is show their palms or index fingers.

Intro To Option Trading – Part 6b

What else can I do with option contracts?
Selling Covered calls
First of all let’s define what “covered calls” mean. Covered call means that you are selling call option contracts on shares that you already own, and taking in the income from that sell transaction. Therefore, selling covered calls is an income strategy with limited downside protection. However, most people think that selling covered calls is an income strategy with no downside or possible losses, but that is not true, one should understand that there is a potential to lose with this strategy as well.

In my review about my Epson Stylus CX5000 multi-function printer I had mentioned about buying Epson compatible Inkjet cartridges from 123inkjets.com for substantially lower price than the genuine Epson inkjet cartridges and that the quality of the printing was close to using the genuine Epson ink. This post is an extension of that compatible inkjet cartridge experience.

Over the last little while it seems like a particular spammer has put my blog into his automated spamming campaign. The amount of blog comment spam that I have been receiving has increased significantly. On average I am getting about 6 per day, however in the last few days it has jumped to about 5 or 6 every hour.

During my recent vacation with my wife to Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Florida we went on our usual “search and destroy” mission for outlet malls. Our last excursion to the United States was Grand Canyon and Phoenix, Arizona back in October of last year and we were able to find a lot of deals at Arizona’s various oultet malls.

Right before I went on my short vacation to Miami, Florida I bought and sold some Corning NYSE:GLW call option contracts. This was done in the span of a week and was mainly done as an experiment to see if it was possible for me to take advantage of weekly or bi-weekly swings in share price of a stock. I have in the past made big profit from options trading selling after 5-6 months, but within a week or two is something else.

If you were wondering why there were no post over the last 5 days it’s because I was in Miami, Florida to attend the Ultra Music Festival and to enjoy some nice weather. My wife and I attended the Ultra Music Festival and it was awesome and would recommended it to anyone who enjoys music, especially electronic music the likes of techno, house, trance and drum and bass. Here’s my little review of the Ultra Music Festival Miami, Florida.

This morning when I started up one of my stock / option trading system and ran Spybot Search and Destroy spyware detection software it detected a keylogger program called Ardamax keylogger.
I went to Google and did a search on Ardamax keylogger and got some information about it. Apparently it is a program that hackers / software hackers bundle with warez or websites and when you visit a website or install a warez program it places this Ardamax keylogger software somehow on your Windows based computer.

This morning I checked my webstats and was completely surprised that someone came to my blog from a Google search on my ex-manager’s name as the keyword. This blog shows up as the 2nd search result when you do a search on his name. After looking at the times that this person did the search, one time at noonish (lunch) time and the other time at 5:54pm I know for sure that this person was my ex-boss himself. He has no life except his work, and usually stays until 6pm or later in his dingy little office.

I purchased an Epson Stylus CX5000 color multifunction printer a while back, because I didn’t have a printer and I needed one that can print high quality photo pictures, scan and photocopy. I chose the Epson Stylus because Epson’s are known for their ability to print high quality photo pictures. Apparently a lot of professional photographers use Epson photo printers, I know our wedding photographer did, he had one of those Epson printers that cost around $900 and he highly recommended the brand.
