I hope you are not considering turning a "long term, capital preservation position" into a "speculation fund" where you learn to trade options where many have just as good of results at the race track.

Some of the people here seem to do really well, but you really don't know for sure and they just might have the skills of professional gamblers that make a living gambling.

I have a friend that traded as a professional for years at a large Sand Hill firm who retired to windsurf and fight the airport expansion to fill the Bay full time.... he's been telling me about leaps but he also told me Exoxus was a good buy at $50.

I'd advise paper trading for a full cycle or limiting your gambling to a set amount that you can afford to lose.

good luck
Kirk
