So please enjoy the article and feel free to comment with your own thoughts and opinions!<\/p>\n<p>===================================================================<\/p>\n<p>Hi everyone,<\/p>\n<p>A big thanks to Adam for choosing me to be a guest blogger on his site, I feel very honoured! Before we get into the details of my latest strategy, I think I should introduce myself a little better and tell you about myself.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Bec and I'm a stay at home mum from Australia. I was introduced to trading in November 2005 and was hooked from the get go. After some success and many failures, I decided to set up a website for others out there like me, who needed information and education on how trading worked, but more importantly, see how someone else was trading the market, real-time! So I decided to place my trading diary online and thus <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketmum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MarketMum.com<\/a> was born! I have since written a couple of ebooks and produced a charting video home study, as I was tired of the enormous prices that some so called \"experts\" charged to learn<br \/>\nthis business.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I mainly use 3 strategies, sell puts with protection for income on stocks I want to own, if I am excersised and have to buy the stock, I then revert to a collar strategy, which implies buying the stock, protecting it with a put option, usually protecting about 85% of my capital, and then in addition to this, I sell covered calls over the stock for more income. This strategy works really well in a sideways market, and has worked great in the current market. The last strategy I use in between the first two, called a strangle, which is the strategy I am telling more about in the video below. I find using these 3 strategies has greatly increased my profits and my philosophy of \"always being in the market\", works well with the synergy they provide.<\/p>\n<p>So now it is 2009 and my trading has grown from strength to strength, and I have many wonderful members of my trading diary! Now without further ado, I have great pleasure in announcing my latest strategy called, Market Mum\u2019s Strangle Strategy!<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, I am doing a strategy known as a Strangle, with my own little twist thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>The Strategy involves buying a Call Option and a Put Option, at the same time, as ONE TRADE! This hedges yourself in the market either way, so the market can move higher OR lower, and we profit BOTH WAYS!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve put together a Trading Tutorial on how it works, with all the ins and outs for you to watch at your leisure, as if you are anything like me, you are a visual learner, and prefer to see what is being taught to you.<\/p>\n<p>I post all my trades on my blog, and from there I keep you updated of results and new trades as I place them.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so excited to be able to present this latest strategy to you all today, and I hope you are as excited and pumped about it as I am! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketmum.com\/strangle%20strategy%20tutorial\/strangle%20strategy%20tutorial.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Please watch the tutorial today<\/a>, but come back and comment on the Trader's Blog.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I value your feedback and comments, so please leave a comment. That\u2019s all for now, thank you for allowing me to share my story and strategy!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Trading and remember\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Mum\u2019s the Word!<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca \"Bec\" Hilbert<br \/>\nMarket Mum<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketmum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MarketMum.com<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I've invited Bec from MarketMum.com to come and show everyone what she's been using to trade options in this market.
