My point is one should expect to lose the original capital when starting out in trading. That’s just the reality for 99% of new traders.
Well, most new traders don't expect to lose it. For them, the sky is the limit. Risk? What's that? It's only when you've lost it, that you understand.
VOO will probably get a portion of it but where else should I look?
SPY, QQQ, IWM and DIA all have high volume and liquidity in options--even in expirations that are 12 to 18 months out. This makes it possible to hold the ETFs and hedge with a collar.
