Michael, Right now I am playing stocks since, until yesterday, the market was only trading in a tight range for over a month with strong oscillations. Since premiums on INDEX options are so expensive and the index themselves so volitile, I preferred to play stocks. That will change soon since we have broken out of that range. I prefer not to state my exact trades due uncomfortable experiences in the past. I am actually mainly looking at DOW type stocks which are predictable. EDIT: Also, alot of the DOW stocks with low option premiums can produce 50% gains on 3-5 point moves. The HiTechs options are mainly quite expensive where one would only get 50% on a 10 point move. seeya
