The rest of the candidates just aren't appealing to me. I have read that they've been a bit prohibitive due to low open interest, but if you are able to set the strikes/premiums right then it shouldn't be an issue, whatever your goal with options are. I try to target strikes and premiums that will give a 10% annualized return or a cost basis where I'd be purchasing anyways, I haven't looked closely enough to determine how that would change with the mini-options yet and will do more research if they ever add companies that I really want to invest in.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-87616632550925986692013-08-25T07:22:23.863-05:002013-08-25T07:22:23.863-05:00Have you had good luck with mini options?

I like the idea of them and they are slowly catching on but the open interest levels aren't all that great with them (yet).Pulling Myself Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676667648941966869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-38161065162520686432013-08-23T17:33:58.815-05:002013-08-23T17:33:58.815-05:00Pulling Myself Up,

I don't foresee any covered option moves in the future with this position either, nor selling puts which I much prefer to calls. The price per share is just too high that it makes it prohibitive to use options. I'm hoping that it'll be added to the mini-options list but so far it hasn't. Either that or a split, even though a split doesn't really mean anything it makes it easier to acquire 100 share lots or use puts to get 100 share lots. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-39977646447871737712013-08-21T15:47:41.763-05:002013-08-21T15:47:41.763-05:00I too have been looking at a position for IBM.
