(update) leading infidel in the world.....

February 10,2006

Hello,

I am going to give this my best shot .Question: would the Washington press corps rather go hunting with Dick Cheney or go for a ride with Teddy Kennedy? Critics immediately dismissed the shooting as a stunt to push the Bush Administrations new social security reform plan ie…shooting seniors and lawyers. For the rest of us not immersed in the belt way gotcha game new housing starts hit a 33 year high, but at the same time unsold home inventory hit an all time high. The new chairman of the FED Ben Bernanke sounded amazingly direct and coherent and top secret tapes of Saddam reveal plans of a WMD attack on the USA.

Other news points to a very robust economy for the first quarter and while the mainstream media has been stuck on the hysteria over Fud Gate a company form the UAE was awarded a contract to manage several US ports? I am still not sure weather this port controversy is real or imagined, weather it is a matter or national security or a political faux pas or are there other agendas at work such as fear of loss of union jobs .My skepticism araises from the simple fact that many of those that oppose this deal have absolutely zero credibility on national security and seem to be motivated by racism .The same people so willing to vote against the patriot act and give drivers licenses to illegal aliens have now discovered national security? In the past the UAE was good enough during the Clinton era to sell 60 jets fighters, many ports and air ports in the US are currently run by foreign companies and let’s face it is not like the Port Authority did that great of a job on 9/11 anyway.

Looking for a predictable pattern of income from the stock portfolio you are holding?

A covered call is simply selling an option to someone to buy a stock you own at a certain price on a given day. Writing covered calls involves selling call options against your stock holdings. By doing so, investors can gain consistent monthly income from their stock portfolios without selling the stocks regardless of market direction. The covered call technique has nothing do with the risky practice of speculating or trading the markets with options - in fact, it is the complete opposite. Covered call writing is often considered “buying a stock with insurance” and by limiting the amount of uncertainty and investor lowers his or her risk of holding a particular stock. Besides earning income with out selling shares, if you had a stock in your portfolio that you wouldn't mind selling for a certain price, you could then write a call against it. By writing such a call, you would receive the amount of an option premium from the buyer of your option contract plus the predetermined strike price of the stock should it reach the strike price.
