John, like any investment, the gains are offset by risk. Option trading has risks, however there are a range of option strategies that go from low risk to high. Selling (writing) is at the lower end of the risk spectrum.... but, there is clearly risk. Read as much as you can before trying. I'd recommend "Options as a Strategic Investment" by McMillian. It's like a textbook, but he explains the strategies with examples. Also, check out the CBOE web site. Options are a zero sum game meaning that for every winner there is a loser.... so, be prepared when you enter the arena. Learn all you can first, or the arena will teach you quickly. Good luck. Tom
