Q: You recently answered a question on selling covered call options. Most of the options you sell, I believe you said went out about a month. I imagine these are on volatile stocks. But you said options can be sold on longer time frames. Just wondering which stocks would go with which timeframe. More stable stocks with longer time frames? Just to get an idea, how would stocks such as Google or General Motors fit into an options selling strategy?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5I Team,

What are your thoughts at this time on International Petroleum? With its sustained share buyback program the outstanding float is being constantly reduced. Would this factor make it a compelling investment?
