Awesome how you saw something analysts seem to have missed. I don't really want to play the lottery with options. I would like to find a niche that keeps me at least breakeven for a while as I learn. Are there any tools you use in your options research that you would consider so important...

wow. you must have been kicking yourself for getting out early

What I meant is that it is quite possible with options to enter a position which starts out worth nothing and never changes (unlike stocks). So you can enter a position and it can cost you $100....and you will see in your account that that position is not worth anything. I know this because I...

Ok thanks. I will update the forum with their response when they do get back to me.
