Introduction Compact

Well .. It seems that it time to change the thread head.

We're here posting a few trades and ideas.

Most here seem to agree that it is better to be short options than to be long.

Very good quote:

If you want to be safe only write puts on issues you are willing to own at or near the strike price.
