you will like this story. So yesterday when the market was down 150, I bought calls on the OEX. Paid $5. When the day ended they were at $2.70.

Yuk, I go home telling myself I have a gambling problem. This morning I just sold them for $7 and am still telling myself I have a gambling problem. Not really. I haven't bought any of those since the last time I said I did on this board. That trade I lost just a little less than I made on this one.

I still think trading options is more for amusement than making money.
