Yes.

When you sell a stock short, you could also sell a put on that stock.
This is analogous to covered call writing on a long position.

For example, you short a stock at $40 and sell a 35 put at $2.

At the expiration date of the put, if the stock is below $35, you will
have to buy it for $35, thus covering your short position.

If the stock is above $35, the put expires worthless.

In either case you keep the $2 put premium.

The drawback is if the stock goes way down, say to $20, you still have to
buy it at $35.

What about dividends? An index goes down when dividends are declared
and the stocks go ex so the money is kind of "lost" however an index
fund presumably re-invests this money (or distributes) it so as far
as the investors are concerned the money isn't lost.

Subject: Closing Options Trading...
Date: 25 Jan 93 21:35:05 GMT

Organization: Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA,  USA

I have a couple of questions regarding options trading.  Here's an
example.  Let's say a buy an option to call XYZ corp. for $40; I own no
shares of XYZ.  At some later time, XYZ is $50 a share.  I wish to "close" 
the deal, i.e.  take my profits and bail out.  Now I understand that I 
could just exercise the option to buy at $40, and sell the shares at $50.  
But by doing this I lose some of the intrinsic value of the option, namely 
the time remaining before it expires.  So I would guess that I could sell
the option for something slightly more than $10.  Can this transfer be done,
leaving me free and clear?  Or is this merely writing a new (naked) option 
to call at $50?  What would the risks here be?  If this isn't the way to
cash out, how does one "close" the deal?!  Any info. much appreciated!

Although I never bought any mutual fund in the past (I only buy individual

only buy mutual funds.

One of the best feature of Monetta is they publish a monthly newsletter for
their customers. It is like get a good newsletter free. I am considering open
an account with them just because of this reason (Of course, their track
records are very good too).

By the way, Monetta does not offer telephone redemption, you must WRITE to
them to redeem. It is both a disadvantage and an advantage. Since this
disencourage the trading activies but probablly postive for the people want
to hold for the long term.

I have one note to add to this discussion:

Remember that Quicken for MAC is quite inferior to Quicken for DOS
or Windows.  I bought Quicken for MAC a few years ago based on
what I had seen on a friend's DOS machine - what a disappointment!
The new version for MAC (3.0 I believe) still lacks the capability
to handle investments like stocks and mutual funds properly.

For now, I am sticking to my good old Excel spreadsheets.
When Intuit decides to update MAC Quicken I will pay the
upgrade fee.

pros and cons, things you can't live with/without, benefits of one vs another.
I'd like the software to chart weekly, daily, and hopefully intraday and include
a wide range of technical analysis studies.  Back testing on long and short

Anyone know of published comparisions/recommendations?

   Well, gee.  If he was going to buy it every day, don't you think it

   Now, back to the original subject... a guy from Lynch that I talked to
a couple of months ago said that he thought the Journal was the best overall
thing to have because it covers all the news that a "business" person needs.
He then went on to say that IBD is a very good individual "stock pickers"
paper.  They seem to cover all the news on all the stocks, and present it
to you in very usable way.  So I guess the question is:  Do you do enough
stock picking to justify getting the IBD?  You decide.

A friend of mine (abroad) has around $20k to invest.  He's looking for
a hassle-free S&P500 index fund.  Ideally it should work as follows:

a) on day 1, he turns the money into fund paper,
b) he never ever hears from them again (i.e., no dividends, no junk mail,
      no mail of any sort).
c) at any point in time, it's easy for him to turn the mutual fund
      paper back into money.

Steps #a and #c would be done from abroad, so the company should be
conveniently setup to do such interactions.  He plans to hold this for
a period of several years, so the company selling the paper should not
be about to go bankrupt.

Does any company come to mind?  Phone numbers and opinions will be highly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Each purchase can be treated separately and a rate of return
can be calculated for each, but I assume that you're asking
for a way to lump all these separate rates of return together
into one "figure of merit."  Here's how I do it, using a
spreadsheet to make it easy.

First, you need to adjust past NAV's by the amount of any
distributions paid since your purchase of them.  For example,
if the NAV when you bought some shares was $15.00, and the
fund has paid a dividend of $1.50/share since then, the adjusted
NAV for those shares is $13.50.  Do this for all shares.

Next, take the natural log of these adjusted NAVs (I'll call
them aNAVs).  Fit a line through these points, plotting
log(aNAV) vs date.  Most spreadsheets have linear regression
tools to do this.  You'll end up with a line with some slope --
hopefully positive :-).  The slope of that line is 
your overall rate of return.  You'll probably have to play
with the scaling of that return rate -- the regression may
give it to you in %/day or something.

That will give you a total rate of return.  If you figure out
the rate of return on the raw NAV alone and compare it to the
total rate of return, you get the "yield" of the fund.

This assumes several things -- like the rate of return isn't
too large (would that I had such problems) so that the
exponential approximation for annual rate of return holds.
Anybody see any problems with this?

I have a program that basically takes advantage of dips and rises in stock
prices by buying more when the price is down, and selling out when the price
goes up. On simulation with random data, the program seems to work well.

I want to try this on some real stock. The following are the requirements:
	1)	I want the share value to be between $7 and $20, as a higher
		rate of percentage change (in price) is achieved even by a small
		movement.
	2)	The share value should have a very high Beta value (maybe > 2.5?)
		so as to give enough flucutations enough number of times for me to
		so some trading.
	3)	The total company worth should be at least $150 million, so that
		the chances of the company disappearing overnight are reduced.


	On the whole, requirement 1 is not important if the other two are met.
	(However, I would like to stay out of the Penny Stocks.)

	Note that the price of the share does not HAVE TO go very high; as long
	as it fluctuates, I'm okay.

Could someone with access to the proper database either mail me the database,
set up a one-time ftp access, or actually find the stock with the above
criteria?

Thanks in Advance,
