TAPE READING (chat room cont.)

Quote from belavia:
Thanks again, and this options strategy can be as rewarding as the tape reading you were doing?
You must do a lot of fundamental analysis now.
Oh God no. No fundamental analysis. It's not a matter of options being rewarding. Making money in general is rewarding regardless of the strategy used or the product being traded.
Quote from Maverick74:
It's not that volatility is easier to trade (many think it is), it's just that it's more lucrative and has more defined risks.
So therefore if you are going to trade volatility, that would imply that you would be seeking out the most volatile instruments to trade. And stocks simply are not volatile enough.
I hope that answers your question.
Could you elaborate on what you consider a defined risk?
Doesn't volatility relate to more risk? Or do you mean that all you can lose is the cost of the option?
