This thread was started by Jill and Poet.
  It used to be called "Options on Gorillas and Kings".  We have changed the focus to include options on any stock, though much of our focus will remain on gorillas and kings. 
  The Gorillas and Kings thread can be found at: siliconinvestor.com

    As the title suggests, this thread is moderated.  We intend to maintain a respectful  discussion on options and general market direction. Friendly personal banter is encouraged here.  Namecalling, taunts and invective are not acceptable.
  We encourage questions from those new to options, as well as discussion among experienced options traders.  Options trading can be profitable in any kind of market, so let's make money and have fun while we do it.  |
