Where would I be able to find data about execution and assignment patterns for a certain stock's options, both call and put?

Mainly thinking of writing Naked Puts & or Covered Calls. Premiums seem to be good for April. I realize that Naked puts in a bear market may not be so desirable I would also appreciate any other ideas on the present market. Rightly or wrongly i tend to be a big fan of generating premium.

Thanks Theo.

Why won't this concept work for going long. ie buy "In-The-Money Calls. You would only be putting up a small amount as oposed to actually buying the stock. You would need to use the same perameters as to time value and intrinsic value.

Options prices appear to be still priced for the pre-drop stock price. I have noticed this on other stocks as well. eckelg Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:37:02 -0500 http://www.tickerhound.com/questions/detail/200801174de54a/selecting-aapl-options http://www.tickerhound.com/questions/detail/200801174de54a/selecting-aapl-options I've been reading up on Options trading for a little while, and it's time to get my feet wet (make my first options trade). Unfortunately, I don't know how to select the 'best choice' of options. I would like to buy Jan 09 calls and I expect Apple to be at least $200 by that time. How do y'all decide which option to go with? Do I choose a $100 strike? $130?

What is the best option strategy that we have now? I think this is one of the best times to buy some option against stocks. Also to play futures against stocks, currencies, commodities etc. Please explain your best methods and reason for that.

I understand it means maximum loss. I would like to know how it happens. Options expired Jan18, and now I see in my account that they are both executed, and I have a margin call. What happens now? Is there anything I have to do, or can do? I think in hindsight one thing I could have tried is selling the short strike and keeping the long, and as the price went way below, I might have decreased the loss considerably or even some profit. Trade and learn, I guess.
