Born To Sell has released its May Newsletter. The information is simply being passed on and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of the securities mentioned.

| That's A Lot Of Nickels |
There are at least two ways go get a billion dollars:
- Start a nationwide photocopy business like Kinko's and charge 5 cents a copy.
- Be a high-frequency trader and execute millions of trades per year where your average gain is 5 cents per trade (not per share, per trade).
|
| Turn Apple Into An Income Stream |
- AAPL is a good stock for covered calls.
- Some people make a living just writing covered calls on AAPL.
- If you have an unrealized gain in AAPL (in a taxable account) and don't want the shares called away, you can buy back any in-the-money options you may have sold while they still have some time premium left.
In addition to writing for SeekingAlpha, TheStreet.com, and others, Rocco publishes the Option Investing Newsletter, which contains specific trade analysis and recommendations. He has some quality ideas in that newsletter and it's worth checking out. |
| AAPL Weekly Trade |
Speaking of AAPL, hopefully you caught our blog article on Apr 16 where we laid out 5 possible in-the-money covered calls as a 5 day trade using the AAPL weeklys. Turns out that all 5 trades finished in the black, with the biggest success yielding 58.4% annualized return. |
| Which Is Better: Naked Put or Covered Call? |
We are often asked about naked puts vs covered calls. Our advice to those who think one is better than the other is to check the profit & loss curves side by side (hint: they are the same if you use the same strike and expiration date).
Now, there are a few differences between the two. The differences involve things like account permissions, commissions, dividends, margin, and interest. But if you are trading at a low-cost broker with reasonable account permissions and margin rules then the differences are so small as to not really worry about. They are basically the same trade.
