Can you make daily lunch or dinner money if the stock has been range bound?

Date rjm77me     Date February 9, 2012
The stock I am talking about has traded in the range of $19 to $19.60 for last 40 days
It offers 7% yield
The daily trading volume is 2 million shares plus - meaning it is liquid trading stock
The one condition to make money is that trading costs - They need to be low like $1 per 100 share lots or less. 
In case stock moves down by say 60 cents - sell and start trading in new range - One can recover the loss in few days

Should APPLE be sold now?

Date RobMarketsBlind     Date February 9, 2012  Edited: February 9, 2012
As (AAPL) approaches 500, many in the media are talking selling.. taking the money and run. Actually it has entered my mind as well. I have recommended Appl each and every year on here going back to 2007. I have never spoke of selling Apple.
After due consideration and review, my conclusion is to hold Apple even longer. I expect a lot of selling pressure will occur after Apple's big move this week and prior weeks this year. I expect many to sell when and if it hits the big 500. There could be s…

Groundhod Day Again And Again

Date inthemoneystocks     Date February 9, 2012
Yesterday, we wrote about the major stock indexes declining in the first half of the trading session only to bounce higher throughout the afternoon. Well, it happened again today. The same exact pattern repeats nearly every trading day since mid-December.
 The trading volume in the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY), and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEARCA:DIA) remains extremely light. The light volume will generally favor the upside as there are simply no institution…

The DOW at 12900 is not too high! It's actually dirt cheap

Date DiviMo     Date February 9, 2012  Edited: February 9, 2012
Some think the DOW at 12900 is TOO HIGH. It reminds me of what they said to me in March 2009. They said that in late March 2009 when the DOW moved up 1000 points to 7500 that it was too high and one needed to wait for a consolidation.
The almighty DOW was at 6400 on Mar 9, 2009 and on Mar 31 the DOW climbed to 7500. Fools were saying it was too late to join the party. We all know what happened then., it keep going up. A month later on April 30, the DOW was over 8000, on June 5, 2009 it moved to…

They're coming out. The doubters, the doomsayers, the media 'fools' and of course the troll community. They're telling you the market is 'too high', they're telling you the 'market is over-valued'.

Attempted Market Break Down Is Foiled Again

Date inthemoneystocks     Date February 9, 2012
There is a key trend line on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) stretching from January 31st, to the low of yesterday. This line has been hit multiple times between these two points and has bounced each and every time. Again, the market hammered this line twice in the morning session of trading today. Each time the 10 minute candle on the SPY closed below. As traders were set to pounce, the market spiked higher, negative the close. Each time the markets got below this major trend lin…

One more shoe to drop = For market short term change of direction

Date rjm77me     Date February 9, 2012
Market makers do not know how Greece bail out will play
It can go up 10 to 200 points in one day. That will indicate the short term top with a 3 to 5% correction.
Those are my views
I have started building 5% of my portfolio with protective puts  IWM March 80 puts can be a good place to buy protection. One does not neeed to buy protection in one go - Build it as the market shows it;s hand. 
I am also selling March calls for any stocks I want to hold = or one can set up stop losses …
