I absolutely would love options discussed on this thread. I know it's risky, but buying OTM options when a company enters a "tornado" (or, from others who've told me about buying OTM leap options) the profits are enormous. I wish GMST had leaps for instance. But I will confess I have bought calls and sold puts on QCOM, bought calls GMST and JDSU. When ARBA got enabled for calls I wish you were around, Tef, I posted you here...in any case, I was considering 160 calls, I forget which month, let's just say April. Imagine what they will be worth in April. I didn't do it because I just didn't have enough sense of ARBA.

The problem with options I think is that the profits can be so juicy that people lose their minds. I believe there is an informed way to play options that reduces cost basis and is really profitable.
