RIMM options make sense for day-trading options, but they are risky. goodluck.

y not just buy someone else's profitable system and trade for yourself, based on its results ofcourse - i think if i gave my system to someone they would be able to make money if they follow it. most of the traders do have a system that they follow. but i am not sure anyone would sell it...
