roq, there are four risks here. 1. maximum loss. 2. probability of losing money. 3. the rate at which one can lose money. 4. the time frame to make back any losses. the risk of 1 is higher for shorting. the risk of 2, 3 and 4 are higher for out of the money puts. that was the only point and i do perceive that be part and parcel to full disclosure of the facts. i might have made it a little more convoluted than it had to be, but then again, i'm out of the running for "cogent poster of the week" award. ;-) suffice it to say that options, in and of themselves are very, very risky. that is why i stress a system approach. if you don't have a disciplined system then you will probably end up broke. hey, enter iten number 5 into evidence... exchange2000.com pay special attention to the quote, "Because personally, I don't think the valuations are relavant." yup, good analysis is driving this bull market. NOT! ;-)
