    Paranoid about selling Options?

    That's great....if you have a $500k account size or greater. Us smaller guys need to be pushed to 5% min.

    Any opinions/experiences with OptionScholar, buying Iron Butterflies on expiration?

    EXACTLY. This is a strategy/position that must be held thru expiration. Trading it makes no sense.

    Paranoid about selling Options?

    Read about Vic Niederhoffer....he was successful for quite a while. He NEVER capped his short options positions....which was usually short puts. Why not use credit spreads instead ? Answer: He was greedy...he wanted that entire premium. He eventually blew up, and one of the reasons was he...

    What Is Wrong With My Head? I Allowed a $11,000 Gain to turn in to a $16,000 Loss?

    July has moved up to 3.11 ? Incredible. See previous posts....no logic to this market. Now in "risk-off" mode.

    Exactly. Here is the REAL DEAL from professionals: http://www.cboeoptionshub.com/2014/06/16/aapl-trade-idea/ Any positive things about the split? Yes, liquidity, which was great before the split, should be better. Why? Option bid/ask spreads will be narrower and more folk will be trading...

    Any opinions/experiences with OptionScholar, buying Iron Butterflies on expiration?

    We are at the lowest volatility in HISTORY. There is no way that strategy could work in this environment. In a high vol environment, of course it has merit.

    New Option Trading Books You Recommend?

    Whatever you do, DO NOT purchase: "How we trade options" by Pete and Jon Najarian (as advertised on CNBC) Supposedly free....it cost me $40 because I was duped into purchasing a DVD that I thought was included for free. Bottomline: shipping and handling : $20 extra DVD...

    What Is Wrong With My Head? I Allowed a $11,000 Gain to turn in to a $16,000 Loss?

    NGLS has much less than 2 million shares traded on average each day. This makes it very illiquid compared to other optionable stocks. What a crazy move last 2 days.....that was a black swan event. Get over it....it happens.

    sky high inflation coming?

    Sky High Inflation NOT POSSIBLE without a commesurate increase in wages. Prices may go up, but that won't last......thus leading to inflationary depression. That's a real likelihood right now.

    sky high inflation coming?

    Exactly. There can be no inflation with flat-to-falling wages. It just won't persist.

    But what about copper ?

    Bounce off of the $3.02 level today....July contract. Shorting can be dangerous at these low levels....that's obvious now.

    But what about copper ?

    Indeed - it was also a "head fake". July holding onto $3.09. Draghi's speech effect with positive notes to Euro housing likely to fade eventually. How long before we are at that magical $3.00 level ?
