How many shares do you have? 100 or 500 or 1000? What are your costs?

I have 200 shares at $24.8. What's your suggestion? Cut loss or add more? I have same question as LZ. Thanks.

You can keep trading on your shares by selling and buying back C $20 2010 calls. It is a way to short C, and you can reduce the cost of yoru shares.

That's too advanced operation for a newbie like me. Anyway, thanks a lot for your kind response.

Buy back, sell again. One strategy is hold a stock a long time, and keep selling and buying back the calls. It is good for volatile stocks like MOS, POT. C is like a dead man. 实在是没有什么办法了,才用到C上。当然可以cut loss.

1000 share at $22. Thank you very much. :)

I am sorry to hear that you bot so much. Try to sell covered calls to reduce your cost.

Wang-lao-wu: $17 covered call or $22 covered call, which one is better? Thanks!
-tala(风车);

Never give up, 谢谢王老五!涨5块后卖22.5的call比较make sense。再问一个问题:卖7月的好还是卖8月的好,我倾向于7月的,因为过期的快。等过期了,再卖8月的。如果卖covered call, 卖in the money的call好还是out of the money的call的好? Thanks again!

Must be out of money. There are a lot of techincal considerations, and I cannot explain very quickly.
对不同的目的,有不同的选择。1) When you sell them, you want to them to die quiently, so it shoud be out of money; 2) When you sell them, you want to make a trade to buy back them quickly, so these calls should be active and have very small bid/ask spread.

Me too. But C is C, It won't collapse and will rebound after few months.

便宜没好货. 谁也不知道哪个会彻底垮掉. 有可能是LEH, MER 甚至是C这样的恐龙性动物. 如果你实在想投资金融类, 最好是买ETF来降低对个股的风险.

xlf, let me lose 10% too. $22.32
-jenny1(mouse);
2008-7-3(#39872@43)
XLF is much better than C. You may see a bounce of XLF next week. But I cannot guarantee you can exit without a loss. If you see a bounce of 3-5% a day (Dow will bounce 200 + pointes), you can sell calls at 22.5
-wang-lao-wu(钻石王老五);
2008-7-3(#39875@43)
老五, I don't know how to play option. I have 400 share with buy $22.32/share. do you think it can go back to $22.5 if down bounce 200 points
-jenny1(mouse);
2008-7-3(#39878@43)
It is not enough to let you exit even if Down bounce 400 points. You need XLF 12% up to break even...It's still not too bad for you. If you can learn how to sell covered calls. Especially, if you use IB, selling calls cost you only $ for each contract.
When you get trapped, you have only 3 choices
1. Cut loss
2. Wait and pray
3. Reduce the loss using options
