Hello Peter,

Thank you for posting your words of wisdom. Actually, we appear to have the same approach to investing: long term buy and hold. In addition, I am allergic to margin [just as I am to carrying over a credit card balance from one month to another].

I do admit somewhat of a fascination with options, mainly due to all the mentioning of them on various threads here at SI. My fascination, however, does not extend beyond understanding.

A good way to explain this is to compare it with another quirky interest I have: stone masonry. Yes, I expect you to laugh, but I have been fascinated with the art of stone masonry ever since someone came over to do some pointing on my parents' house when I was a teen. I have read a number of highly technical books on stone masonry over the years and have no doubts whatsoever that I could do a beautiful job building a stone house should I so desire (with some brute strength to help me with the stones).

My likelihood of building a stone house (or cute gardening shed) is greater than my chances of ever trading options. It is gaining an appreciation for the talents and skills of others rather than actively doing something myself, comparable to studying art appreciation in college.

Regards,

Lynn
