Thanx. I'm not sure I'll be around the whole time but maybe the next course you give. It's a two week time frame, right? I agree, real time is very helpful.

For trading options, no I don't do the "minute/hour" type thing. It makes me too jittery. Occasionally I'll trade in and out in a day but I'm more a position trader, for instance, I picked up some Nov BRCM calls not quite at the low today, but close, and will probably sell when BRCM pops into the 230s again. So that could be a few days or who knows--I don't like to do current month as that seems too risky.

Otherwise I also accumulate options for longer term i.e. 4 to 6 months out. And some common. But that sure can get frustrating--even if your cost basis is low--for example seeing JDSU go up and down so much--I tend to start to agree with you, to operate from cash is most satisfying.
