Why am I doing this?
About 10 months ago I opened a new IRA account to start trading with some covered call ideas I had. Prior to that the majority of my investing had been in mutual funds. At the same time I started a blog at wordpress.com called Learning Covered Calls.
I have been an avid reader of investing and markets for years. In the early 90’s I spent several years as a registered rep (investment salesman) in the branches of a large bank.
While doing research for trade possibilities for my covered call positions I have run across a lot of investment ideas that did not directly relate to covered call writing so I had the idea of starting a blog with a more open criteria list concerning investments to write about.
I also wanted to start a blog separate from the free blog opportunities so I could have more control over blog design and content. Hopefully, I will be posting on my experiences while trying to make this blog work the way I want to.
Finally, on investing, back before the investment world was parsed up into tens of thousands of styles, mutual funds, etf’s, etc. there were growth, value, technical, and special situations. (At least that is how I remember it!) I am not a chart guy, but will be looking for ideas in the other category that you may not have heard of or thought about.
