Probably a good idea Truth is this was only my second options trade. I figured since I have experience trading that the same principles applied with options more or less. Then after the BAC earnings announcement I realized that perhaps I was missing some important information! Of course when I called my broker all they could tell me was that options have strange price movements LOL. Anyway, I'm glad I found this board while looking for answers. Seems like a great resource!
In general, if you have to consult a broker for reliable info, you're in deep doo. Always remember that with brokers, 2 out of 3 make money on every trade... the broker and his firm. Sometimes you make something too.
