I have thought about looking into options on commodities but never have tried it.

Romik,
If you look at a 6 month daily chart you will that the BB's had gotten very tight right before I entered so I was expecting a pop in one direction or another. So the straddle worked for me. I tend to use the BB's more than sitting around figuring the greeks. Before I enter the trade though I do look at the greeks to determine the best possible contracts to buy.

I understand, thanks for clarification Gary. I just have to figure out the best combination for me.

Are we going to get one of your T days. I think this week we have had Tmonday, Tuesday, and Twednesday so far.

Would that be the Merck jury? They just gave you that little pullback. But like I always say...

A wise man once said, "It's a T-day fool!".

Everytime I make predictions like that I put my foot in my mouth so I'll keep my opinions to myself. Give me 1304 and I will be out with my money and that is all I care about.
