We learnt about them in detail during business school, but I don't participate in those activities for a few reasons:<BR/>1. Time - I'm starting to move my activities towards more of a passive role than active. Once my portfolio have accumulated the positions I've targeted my intention is simply to add to positions on weakness over time.<BR/>2. Risk - While I can potentially make a profit or premium by using the stocks I own or anticipate to be over-valued, I would much rather focus on Doing What I Do Best (see my post) and stay focused on my own core competencies.<BR/>3. Value - I just see more value for investing in undervalued stocks than enhancing my returns using other methods.<BR/><BR/>Thoughts?Nurse B, 911http://www.blogger.com/profile/13599091589209075856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886595570005494885.post-86048256694354091392008-09-10T14:53:00.000-04:002008-09-10T14:53:00.000-04:00I am just wondering that have you thought about selling covered call to enhance returns and increasing protection for downturn on stocks and ETF you hold in your RRSP.optionsforstocksoptionsforstocks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
