options (finance)

[Kirkrrr]

Emon,

Yes, I'm totally self-employed, and yes it's all from my house. I'm 100% confident that I can make a living trading. In fact, let me rephrase that: I'm 100% confident that I can become filthy rich trading (qualification: filthy rich = net worth > 10M, which is plenty for me).

KKF,
I have already mentioned elsewhere that day trading is my focus right now, though as I get better and learn more I will start taking more long-term positions. The thing most people don't realize, though, is that any time your money is in the market it's at risk, so the longer amount of time you take a position for, the greater the risk becomes. Thus I will invest for longer term as I get better, not vice versa.

SlowHabit,

btw, you have a guy that runs a desk at a hedge fund in this thread, why doesn't he have a billion questions directed at him??? this is like a golden opportunity for everyone.
