About Me
- CCWriter
- I've been investing in the stock market for 30+ years. I started out like most investors with mutual funds, then progressed to individual stocks, and finally options trading, using Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts as my primary strategies. I started this blog in 2006 to track my options trades and also started a discussion group, first hosted at Yahoo, and now at Groups.io, to help others who were interested in trading Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts. I hope the information provided in this blog, and the accompanying discussion group, is helpful. If you're interested in learning more, please join the discussion group at the top of this page. We have many members who are always willing to help.
