You do quite a bit of trading....

I used to buy calls in multiples of 10...now I buy shares in multiples of 10 <grin> - well
almost - after the DELL fiasco...! I've become very shy of trading !!!!!!!!


HG,

As you stated, you do not have a corner on losses. I use to write naked puts in multiple of 30 and naked calls etc. Now I watch every move because preservation of capital is imperitive. I was too stubborn short AMZN last year. I also am more stressed when trading now due to fear of losses.

Bottom line is positions are smaller, risk is reduced and personal fear is up.
