I'm pleased to introduce a "Member of the Month" award. This award will be given at the end of every month to a member who had the most significant contribution during the month. The award will be equal to a monthly subscription fee, refunded to the PayPal account. How we will determine who get the award? One way to do it is based on members reputation - each time you like someone's post, their "reputation" gets an extra one point. Thank you everyone for your contributions! We appreciate it very much and hope that more members take part in our forum discussions. This is the whole purpose of SteadyOptions. Many thanks for @Ringandpinion for this excellent idea!

I don't see much of a point in selling a call for $0.02, especially if you're going to pay a commission in doing so. Options stratagies for these extremely cheap stocks often don't make much sense as even a $0.50 strike distance represents a very large percentage move for the stock.

Great initiative Kim and @Ringandpinion. I probably classify as one of the old-timers here, and like many others who've been here a while, I'm no longer here for the official trade alerts but for the power of the community and the forum. Just look at the sheer amount of contribution made this year by The Three Musketeers ( @gf58, @TrustyJules, @FrankTheTank) - both in volume and quality. What other trading forum has members where someone : - Creates a snazzy python script and shares it freely for everyone to use - Creates a whole strategy based on trading call ratios and answers hundreds of questions in return - highlights a constant stream of unofficial trade ideas month after month. Without wanting to sound like a suck-up, I can honestly say that I have re-couped my entire SO subscription costs simply from these three guys. So, in my books, anything that rewards members who selflessly share so much, is a great idea.
