We tried to keep it simple, could have used the word bank profits on call options that are showing gains of 130%, that would fall along the lines of simply trying to draw page views. As it stands the word option was missing but the title was rather simple and not designed to be bait clicking trap.
One should make some attempt to read the article. Making a comment without reading the article is like a shoemaker trying to tell a Chef how to cook.

you need to understand the difference between being long the stock and long options. One has a time premium factor to consider. In this case the calls are set to expire in Jan. It would be foolish to hold onto them given that you have roughly one month of time premium left.
No mention was made of selling the stock. You and several others are not taking the time to read the article and understand what is being discussed. If you want to hold your calls till expiration, that is fine, but that is not a prudent investment strategy.

It seems that you and svaftsploos have not read the article. So you are saying you would hold onto these calls even though they will expire in about a month. That makes no sense. Our position was to sell the calls and not the stock. The stock is a whole different story and we are still bullish on the stock.
we also advocated using a pullback to purchase new calls with more time on them.

The point is to sell the calls which are set to expire in Jan. Why does everyone assume we are talking about the stock. It would be silly to hold the calls with time running out when you are sitting on such huge gains.

The advice is not to sell the stock but the options. In case you did not look the calls are set to expire in Jan 2014 and its not worth taking the risk when you are up over 130%. One could sell the calls now and use a pullback to purchase calls that have more time on them.

Have not looked at the stock closely for awhile, but based if one takes a look at the technical pattern, it has not fared so well, The stock is still in a downtrend, though it is trying to put in a bottom. If 1.20 holds then it will be move in the right direction and a sign that the stock is ready to turn around. A weekly close above 1.80 would definitely confirm that a multi month bottom is in place.

Payout ratios are not that important when it comes to MLPS/REITS as they are generally pay a majority of their cash flow as distributions; in the case of REITS they are required to pay out roughly 90% of their cash flow as dividends. Payout ratios are calculated by dividing the dividend/distribution rate by the net income per share, and this is why the payout ratio for MLPs and REITS is often higher than 100%. The more important ratio to focus on is the cash flow per unit.
However the rest of what you have to say makes sense. But as is the case with everything, one can be right but end up broke before the market follows the path it is supposed to. Having said that CIM could still rally with the general markets (if there is a santa claus rally) before topping out. It has held up pretty well so far

Keep in mind that this is play for individuals willing to take on some risk. Having said that it appears that the market has priced in the negative news for this information has been out there for awhile. Markets are forward looking beasts. Once again, though this play is only for those willing to take on some risk and in our opinion its not a long term play. The focus should be on the short to intermediate time frames.

It is for the entire 2012.

You could do that but one could also think of doing the following
write a bull put spread and use any premium left over to purchase calls just in case the stock moves higher.
At the same time you could sell naked puts and extreme prices as you suggest such that if the stock gets assigned to your account, you are more than happy to take possession of them.

Well it depends on how you look at it. You are only using part of the premium to buy the calls. Let us say you put in a limit order to buy the stock today you would pay 84.94. With this strategy you would get in at 78.50 if the shares were put to your account. On the other hand if they were not put to your account and the stock took off, you would benefit from the two calls you are holding. So if you are bullish and looking to get into this stock at a lower price. You could in a way call this a win win strategy. It all comes down to ones outlook and ones investing strategy.

The recco was not to sell the stock but the options which are set to expire in Jan 2014. The stock still has more run to run.
