Dennis,

You need to have a margin account and fill out some paperwork at your local brokerage house first. As a result of the margin requirement, you cannot do this in a tax sheltered account like an IRA.

Once that is done, I strongly suggest you take the Options Industry Council material and study it. It will tell you about the risks and rewards of using options.

The one thing that I will tell you is never trade more contracts than you would normally trade in stock. If you deal with 1,000 shares at a clip, then do not trade more than 10 contracts even though they might only be $1.50 each.
