Thank you, Melvicitus. Those two articles are about leveraging, but not trading do's and don'ts. Options and margin accounts are reasonable; if you do not buy and hold, which is what most of us make the mistake on playing options and use margin accounts, for long term investment. In general, those two practices have to be concluded within 5 trading days, within the same week, to be safe. And if you do momentum plays along with most brokers(full service brokerage brokers, who are options experts and/or who are close to certain stocks); you probably will make more money, if you close all accounts by friday. That is why on fridays the market goes down some, when brokers close their accounts before going home. Market goes up some when brokers cover their shorts before they go home. I will, at some time, go into these subject matters; but that is another story, and probably will be done in "Analysis for the beginners".
