Truck and Barter: Thanks Kevin

Thanks Kevin

By Bob

You know, I was just coming to announce it and Kevin beat me. Oh well, so as Kevin posted immediately below, I started a new blog to post my options trades and reasons behind them. I've done trading journals on Elitetrader.com before and found it to be a very usefull excercise. A public airing places some contraints on trading, in other words, maybe I won't do some things that I might be tempted to normally. Besides, I just need a place to write my thoughts down each day. I could write it up on a yellow pad or in Word, but why not show worts and all.

As Kevin noted, another reason to start it is I'm getting in on the ground floor of options/derivatives blogging. There aren't any option blogs out there except the sole one I ran across, the lonely Galatime. If you know of any others let me know. I'll be a part of two blogs in the process of the specialization of the econosphere, Hedging Options and the possibly soon to be former Always low Prices. Hopefully, I won't get any legal letters or a phone call from the SEC.

Edit: And to be honest, I debated at the beginning of the semester whether to take two or three class'. The cancelling of one of them made the choice easy.
