    Fannie has reported profits for the majority of 2012. 10K not out yet, but I guess we'll see. Care to place a wager?

  • Fiscal Cliff Uncertainty Presents Real Opportunities [View article]
    Sorry to disappoint you. I'd say it was subtle. If the fiscal cliff issue is resolved, we will enter a bull market. If it is not resolved, stocks will fall, but you'll have an opportunity to scoop up discounted shares.

  • Housing Improves According To Q3 Earnings Call Transcripts [View article]
    Jeffrey, Thanks for the questions. I'm not going to publicly speculate on the outcome of GSE reform. If someone from the Treasury would like to fill us in, I am all ears. Fannie and Freddie have been under government control, technically, since 2008. President Bush was in office then. Seems like this should be resolved soon enough.

  • Boosting Portfolio Yield With Covered Call Trades [View article]
    Interesting take on it. What do you mean by mathematically astute? I would assume you are talking about something like Black Scholes. To me Black Scholes and other mathematical models are flawed. They miss the human element.

  • Stocks: Election Results Push Fannie Mae Common Up [View instapost]
    First full year of profitability since 2006, was it? After AIG is completely sold, one of them will be next is my opinion.

    Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure what you mean by "Scotsman's" way of playing it. I assume that is a good thing.

    Please enlighten me. The article is about covered calls. Not every trade will result in a profit.

  • 3 Lucrative Ex-Dividend Options Trades For This Week [View article]
    That's a good reason for finding a covered call trade that has a high time value premium in the call. This should help to cover your commissions and possibly generate a small profit regardless of the outcome.

  • Surviving And Prospering Over The Next 4 Years Of Economic Darkness [View article]
    The melodramatic musings of the "Investor Class" have begun. Just like four years ago, stock market pundits appear to have a deep mistrust for President Obama. Drawing comparisons to Jimmy Carter, many are already talking about the perilous second term and the effects on the economy. Here's some news for you, Jimmy Carter's second term was actually Ronald Reagan's first. To think that one President's economy exists in bubble denies the facts. During the time Obama was actually in office there was job growth.

  • A Sober Wake-Up Call The Morning After [View article]
    It's time for business leaders to capitulate. You can't buy an election and Obama is the President for the populace.

    Point taken. I encourage this type of criticism, as it helps me to improve my understanding and it is refining this article too.
