Judy, (or anyone else who has the answer) word has it that you might be able to answer a question of mine: question about options...and I know that you can't answer me exactly or anything.....say that you have a stock at 30, you buy puts at 30, the stock goes down to 25. If you dealt with the equity itself, you have a ~17% return. Can you say a range of what you would have made on the options? Is it more than 17%? Again, I am just looking for a realistic estimate to even think if it would be worth it to me to get involved with this form of trading. Thanks. PS HELLO CHRIS!
