You been trading puts and calls for a while? I activated options in my accounts a few years ago, but never traded them. There's a whole lot of restrictions, so I didn't seriously consider them. Couldn't write naked calls, couldn't sell puts, that sort of thing. Can't remember the rules exactly. The spread on lots of options on Canadian stocks were poor at the time, too. I see the potential for lots of leverage if you hit the right side of the trade. The wrong side, too. You in the investment biz, or just have a lot of experience and/or large huevos? I can't see the Fed pausing, or at least admitting they will. They can do nothing at this point, but want to be seen as doing everything.
