TC...i very much think that our next project should be...

selling options instead of buying them...

for instance...instead of buying calls when you think
a stock is poised to rally...you sell puts instead..

the guy who sold me those KLAC puts made out well!..even when the trade was going against him!

how did your papertrade BRCD strad work out?

A refinement to TC's conclusion-known as TWNN's Paradox :

Conclusion: THE AVERAGE OPTION TRADER WHO INTENDS TO HOLD NEAR-TERM OPTIONS FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DAYS GETS SCREWED!

if the trade is initiated in the last 10 days of the option's life.
