How many upgrades do you think we will get tomorrow? I'll say 3-4ish.

David, I'd strongly advise against anyone buying or selling options "...just to get my feet wet in the options arena." Options could be used to reduce risk, but seldom are in any of the strategies I've seen discussed in these threads. Rather, leverage is sharply increased. And that is almost always a 2-edged sword. An inappropriate and excessive option strategy could leave you penniless. A paper trading system for an extended period of time would probably be helpful; along with some Options education; and a good book such as MacMillan on Options. JMHO, Ian.
