Just when the thread was quiet & postable again...darn...if Frank really wanted you to leave him alone he wouldn't keep responding with hostile, provocative posts. Your original post was simply a genuine, polite, and friendly reminder that options are not the road to disaster (who knows why he even brought that up on Qualcomm thread, in response to a question about acronyms), but a marvelous way in this volatile, premium-rich market to leverage core holdings by many multiples. As concerned as Frank seems to spontaneously be about who might be risking their portfolios on options, I'm concerned that he is giving people the wrong impression of the use of options. Many veteran traders use them. Not just buying calls on QCOM in an amazing year, but selling puts, buying puts, etc, on many different stocks. This is a unique market in a unique time and many people are thrilled with the additional power that options pack in their portfolio. I think advice on options trading belongs on the thread you and I started, which has been thriving nicely. I don't know why Frank brought it up over here out of the blue, and it's even more mystifying why he diverted the discussion to Maurice Winn. What in the heck does that have to do with your original post earlier this eve to Frank?
Strange goings on, and you handled yourself with aplomb. |
