I did not think you were implying anything, I guess I was only drifting towards another frame of thought. Straddles are great but I honestly think to play them one has to luck into a leg-in. It's so complicated to play Options these days. I honestly have an idea as to the "best" way but it's such a volatile environment I admire you people who can successfully trade it. I know from experience, my results were that a day such as today would wipe out a month's profits. Anyway I think in a month or two I can convince myself I am better at it and can speak to it with more conviction. Whether I make money or not is yet to be seen but I surely intend to be better at knowing the ins and outs.
