I bought an IShares Canada Index Call Option and would like to know if anyone has traded these with good results? Mine is EWCFN June ’07 Call Strike prce $28.00 IT IS AT THE MONEY. Do Index Options tend to have UPWARD trends? It would seem to me this would be good for a CALL option on one of these? Thanks

I’m reading up on option strategies, and many requires the simultaneous act of selling and buying call/put options with different strikes or manturities. Buying the option is easy, but how can I sell the option if i dont already own it? And what do I do if still want to partake in the trade?

Delta is one of the option Greeks. It gives the sensitivity of the call option value to changes in stock price. In this example, a delta of 0.61 implies we can hedge a long position in 61 shares by writing (i.e., taking a short position in 100 call options. But note delta is a linear approximation; the hedge requires frequent rebalancing.
