    RETAIL OPTION TRADER Makes $105MM PROFIT in the NDX, SPX & RUT

    Let me make a couple of points: 1. Put Master sells naked puts just as this lady does now. 2. I sell spreads which she says is what she used to do. i think the spreads are safer but (I think) she likes the higher premium on the naked short puts. As she says... my risk is pre-determined...
