RE:RE:I smell a moody's credit rating boostI suspect HF shorts are closing their bbd positions as they know , and they have ways of knowing, when credit ratings reports are due. Having said this I suggest but can not force all shorts to go long. To generate more income write covered calls slightly out of the money. Park the premiums earned on a dividend instrument. Should the share hit the strike you still make a profit and you keep premium. Then rebuy and do it again. You can even load up on bbd calls expiring 2020 .. Lock in your price. Just an idea. Be aware that playing with.options can be fun or a death blow to your portfolio. Read up on it. Study. Join a group. Learn.
