Re: Ask mrbaseball about trading for a living
instead of starting another thread, I thought it'd be appropriate to post here: what are some of the best books to read about option strategy and general option trading?

[/ QUOTE ] Interestingly all of my options books are very old, very basic and probably not the best out there. Some of the options authors I have seen mentioned here time and time again are McMillian, Hull and Natenberg. Probably all will tell you what you need to know. My initial training was a series of videos by Shelly Natenberg and although I haven't read his book I am sure it's top notch.

Most guys dressed pretty sloppy as it was a physical environment. Comfy shoes, khaki type pants and a golf shirt. Golf shirt looks stupid with a tie but its comfortable. In my office there are no dress codes. Shorts, tshirts and sandals are fine although I typically wear khakis and a golf shirt.

Re: Ask mrbaseball about trading for a living
I'm not knowledgeable of trading, this question will probably show, but
Why not trade your own bankroll, and exponentially grow? Why aren't you a billionaire? I assume the problem is scalability? If so, how much do you think you could make before running into scalability problems?

Re: Ask mrbaseball about trading for a living
Do you consider yourself a daytrader, swingtrader, long-term holder? By that, I mean, does your average trade (from purchase to sell) last for seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc...???
