  2. Can you give an update on your options positions? I am interested in following along. What is your bias regarding either buying the put or calls?

  6. Here's a question:

    What did you learn?

    Did you learn that holding risky positions is a good idea because the markets will reverse direction to save you?

    Did you learn that risk management is for sissies?

    I truly believe you would have learned something very useful if these trades were big losers instead of being 'awesome.'

    For more on the idea that early success is not always a good thing, see:

  10. I am sure some of you recognise "....", sound familiar, right ?

    Last time "someone" claimed that he make a good living by trading oil, and make a few hundred "pound" a day and claim to post his profit result in live (and obviously he never did this as he loss money most of the time).

    From the way this guy mention about options, the answer is obvious - Good luck :D
