    Up 24% so far. I only trade index options and it's been pretty easy to make money using combinations of puts and calls....seeing as how the market has been sideways since hitting the lows....

    Up 130% last year. This year I am down 3% after being down as much as 10%. I am clawing my way back after a couple of bonehead trades(VMW) on the long side and (AMZN) on the short side. Losing money is hard to swallow since I have been trading for 10 years. I still feel like I am learning every day.

  8. Everyday I miss reading stuff like this from you. Please keep it up. You're the best. Now that Timmay/Stocktrader are gone, you 're now the main reason I am addicted to ET.
