Hi Saleem,

If there is any significant pull back I'll close out the calls and reposition for next month. Didn't like that late wave of selling at close on Thursday......new GDP info not inspiring markets.

Best Regards

Hi Saleem,

Just looking at the charts we went from 8000 to 9100 since mid July. That's a fast move. No wonder the crowd is waiting for a pull back.

Best Regards

Hi Standards,

TAPE tells the truth.....

When indices make new highs back to back it is "bullish"...

BUT...when it stalls next day...means only thing...As Jack Palance will say.....CONSOLIDATION..

Depending on what strike you sold calls...it MAY expire worthless....

Goldman analyst Terry Darling said on July 30 that comments by U.S. House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank reported after the close of trading July 29 suggest broadening support for regulatory reform that would not mandate the separation of GE Capital (GECS). While numerous uncertainties remain, Darling is reducing the probability assumption for a costly GECS separation to 25% from 50%.

Darling raised the firm's target price on GE to $15 from $13, saying greater potential for a manageable regulatory outcome should prompt investors to focus on the longer-term benefits of economic and credit stabilization to GE shares.
