Short Term Traders-Listed Stocks

[jwalk]

If you are talking about writing them, I think it's a great idea. My wife is the expert options trader. I get somewhat frustrated and I cannot stand watching the premium evaporate when I hold them and the stock just sits there. That said, I currently hold some July puts (5s) on HSOA. Stock ain't goin' nowhere and the puts are dying... Don't have many, though, and I knew what I was getting into.

If you're looking to buy, might be a bit safer to go with the Dec 30s ($2.90, last I looked). Gives you a bit more time if we do get a summer sell-off. They don't have leaps available, so that avenue is out for the time being.
