What's Better? Dividends Or Covered Calls [View article]
I would. I wish I had 100 shares in a stock so I could do this same thing. And if you pick a price you'd be willing to sell at, you could just re-purchase at a lower price if you think it's due for a pull back from too fast of a run up, or just re-purchase at the higher price and chalk it up as a small loss (and not even really a loss, just a slightly smaller gain). But if you get a 10 - 15% gain in a week on a stock; either fundamentals changed for the better and you'd still buy the stock anyways, or you can wait for the pull back after too quick of a run up. And it's not like you wouldn't be able to re-purchase over 100 shares and write another covered call (or two or three).

Well, it looks like you'd stand to profit $130 or so in the first year. That's some extra shares. It's like compound interest. The first few times aren't much, but do it enough, for long enough, and it'll make a big difference in the end. It's like adding a calculated risk to get a better yield, which is this case seems to be close to doubling the yield on INTC.
As for the taxes, unless something changes, your dividends and covered call income will all be taxed the same this year, won't it?

How far OTM on NFLX would you go on a put? And what kind of time frame? A standard option length or more looking at a LEAP? And I'm not taking any reply as an official suggestion or recommendation to act on, I'm just curious what you are thinking.
And listman11, If you think he and his articles are dumb, why do you continue to read them? Just so you can make yourself feel better by hiding behind the keyboard and calling him names and mentioning one of the times he was wrong? People are wrong at times, but he has a pretty decent track record of being correct.

magnusma - Fatal flaw; it uses 32 kilobits (quoted above), not kiloBytes. 32 kilobits = 4 kiloBytes. 4 * 60 = 240 KBytes per minute * 60 minutes/hour = 14400 KBytes per hour. so an hour of listening uses 14.4 MBytes (also quoted above). So for every 10 hours you would use 144 MBytes. The math might be very easy, but attention to detail might not have been so easy for some. Your per hour number needs to be divided by 8 because there are 8 bits in a byte. Take your 115,200 kbites that you noted divided by 8 and viola, 14,400 KBytes per minute, or 14.4MBytes
So to sum it up, the numbers quoted in the article, and the numbers ran by Rocco, and the numbers that they got from actually listening to Pandora by two separate people, all are correct.

You know, I've read many people's articles on this site and other than Andy Zaky, you are the only other author I can read every article, regardless of investment subject. And I think I've figured it out. I too am an hockey nut. I can watch any NHL game, no matter who is playing, and I myself play on two teams. So that's got to explain it. Keep it up, I enjoy the articles very much.

How about Rick Perry and Obama? Opposites, but maybe if one is right, I could still win something! I don't follow politics at all, so I'm just pulling names out of my...mind.
