This thread was started by Poet and Jill.
Many of us have reaped huge rewards by investing in Gorillas and Kings--see one of the best threads on SI:
Subject 25851
We are equally interested in the powerful leveraging and hedging ability that can be obtained by trading options on our favorite stocks in addition to holding our core long positions. This thread is intended to be an open forum for those new to options as well as veterans. No question is considered too elementary to ask, and we all hope to learn from each other. Jill and Poet will do their best to facilitate and ask only that conversation remain respectful of the many differing views and styles of options trading.
The following books, available on Amazon, might be useful:
The Gorilla Game, by Geoffrey Moore
Leaps by Harrison Roth
In addition, see Poet's first post on this thread for links to some very informative options discussions from other threads.
Two good sites for checking options prices are:

I like dljdirect.com for nicely formatted delayed options quotes and foxmarketwire.com for up to 50 realtime quotes (including options) per day with free registration. |
