Yo? Yo? Who's callin' me?

Whoa, hoah, who are you, oh, you're who? GhostDog? Oh, ghettotrader, thank God for that, right, hey, what do you need man. Yeah, yeah, that's allright, I just wanna get out of here.

Allright. Natenburg is a decent book on options. I think there are better - some that come to mind are:

Crack (Hey, no offence man, I mean it, this is the guy's real name) - Basic Black Scholes - printed like an amateur book but its the best options primer out there.
Sinclair - Volatility Trading - a book with really serious practical aims about hedging and quantifying vol - this is an excellent, thoughtful book.
Taleb Dynamic Hedging - Taleb is well known now and this is an old book - I think he really has something to say, but he can jump from primer basics to old hand jargon in a moment. This book might make you think about what you do with a book full of options, rather than one.

I looked into selling options but found the spreads and hedging costs too wide to justify. You can dream up many ways to hedge, but it's not trivial. If futures/fx/equities are nontrivial to trade, well, you can add at least one dimension of complexity to options.

Good luck - if you decide to stay out of options, I would think that a prudent decision. Others may tell you otherwise.

Be careful and watch out for the boojie man!
 
The position is simply 7 short 63 puts and 1 synthetic short 65 put. I believe the technical term is "put stupid".
