re: Options Trading Thread

Great thread! Hopefully we can keep this one going. If people only realized… but to each his own. I’ll never suggest that someone get into something that they don’t understand or aren’t comfortable with, for risk aversion or other reasons. But I do encourage people to try to learn more about the overall options markets. Much of what happens in the equity markets is at least somewhat related to what happens in the options markets… like yesterday.

Maybe thatguy777 will see this one and chime in too. I like that he typically goes long, while I’m typically short options, and often we’ve both made money on the same underlyings with the same expirations (just different strikes). I also believe Frogtown and a couple of other guys are active options traders.
