gary, one can make a killing with short-term intc options. i have literally doubled my money in just a few days, or sometimes in just a few hours. conversely, it is also quite easy to lose it all, and that's why your broker will only let you trade options if you're an experienced investor, and aware of all the risks. the reason i trade almost exclusively intc options is that i have faith that the stock is vastly undervalued (and always has been), and at least the fundamentals of it are always pushing it up. sounds like a simplistic reason, but i've had good luck. so, as for your question about what kind of return you can make on options trading, let's put it this way... if you had a crystal ball on intel stock and could always sell at peaks and buy at bottoms, you could maybe double your money every year. if you had the same kind of crystal ball for options, you could probably make a hundred times what you started with, or maybe more. but, as with any investing, your mileage may vary drastically, and please don't get into it before you've armed yourself with a lot of knowledge about the subject, because there are lots of people like me who are looking to shake you out of a few bucks in the options markets. :-) |
