Teflon, Take care. I have a headache and need to get some relief from this screen I know that feeling very well. I rested my eyes today. Not getting much time today, thankfully. Tomorrow is one of those "get rich quick" opportunities. A friend of mine is hoping for a $2 dip late morning and picking up the March 175s at dirt cheap prices (1/8 or so). He is then hoping for a finish at about 180 for a 40 times return. I have done this thing before with good success but am not going to try it (my "conservative trading" approach again getting in the way--not to mention my wife). Considering the volatility, it might be worth it----if the money invested in options is your lottery money for the next year or two. Risky stuff!!No longer for me. At least it is better than the casino, maybe! Just my opinion.
