Today I opened up a Virtual Account at OptionsXpress. They start you off with virtual account balance of 25,000 dollars. I recommend opening a Virtual Account because you can learn the basics of trading and investing without risking your real money. It's A great Training Ground or Stock Investing lab if you will.
Starting next week, I will start using the strategy of covered calls on the Silver ETF (ticker symbol: SLV) I am excited about doing the covered calls on the SLV because it will provide an opportunity to earn weekly income through the weekly options. If you do not know what a covered call is please read What are Covered Call. While I am building up the balance in my actual account, I will practice my theories in the virtual account.
