Kd, That was a silly question but you answered it well. << I think of them like jalapenos >>. I think that is the way I will treat options and perhaps most beginners should -- try not to be too greedy. << I do believe that most (98%) of punters have no clue how risky their equity portfolios really are.*** For that alone, it's worth spending the time and money to study options, synthetics and risk curves to get a good grasp of capital risk. >> Sometimes I think I fall into your 98% crowd and am glad to read your posts and dabums (dont let a small mistake turn into a big one) from time to time just to stay alert. Many thanks. Do post if you are to chew on another juicy jalapeno.
