Default Re: options (finance)

My uncle who is a venture cap guy suggested to me that I may want to consider trading options as a career. He said that the earning potential is incredible and that because I'd never be the work-for-the-man type

One idea might be to do lots of research, learning, and work on my own, create and manage either a real or imaginary portfolio, do well (hopefully), show results along with poker/chess results to some young star option traders, get taken aboard, profit.

Two contradictory statements. You don't want a job, yet you want to impress someone enough to hire you. Most options trading jobs are probably going to be high stress. IMO if you can trade well enough to get hired, you might as well just trade your own account and be your own boss.
