The Options Box

Exhibitionist? Me? <GG>
If you want to see some sexist stuff then just go into TGL Live after the markets are closed. I went in there one time and it was almost X Rated LOL!

Sorry for the late reply Fred.
I was over on the MKTSS board trying to keep up with the DJX Options. I took the swinging bag off of my messages because it was making me dizzy <GG>. I have to look back at a lot of my posts to relate option prices, market targets, and remember what I said so I was seeing that swinging bag All of the time. I was just getting tired of it <GG>. I am glad that you liked it. You can right click on it, copy the properties and put them on your posts if you like. Just go to your profile and at the very bottom put it in with the [ chart][ /chart] function. It will then become the signature to all of your posts, if you like it.

I think that it is a good idea to bring your daughter into your trading life. I have been trying to teach my girlfriends kids about the markets and they are 'Like Totally Bored' <GG>. They are in their 20s and not interested in the Future. They would rather just spend what they make and not think about what will come the next day. I think that her daughter is beginning to get a clue as she opened up a 401K account on my suggestion. She is now excited about how the money in it keeps going Up, not like her checking account <GG>.

It will indeed be hard to say how your daughter will react to the Stress that she might experience. Especially if she has not been in that type of situation before. I say "The younger the better" to learn about the markets and how they work. You will just have to keep an eye on her reactions and give her some guidance on how to handle the mental part of the game. If she is interested in continueing to trade after a few Mistakes then I think that she will be alright. I do not think that using Your money will be a problem for her. My girlfriends kids think that money grows on trees for the most part. If you Give them the money, or a gift, then it has no Real value to them as they were not the ones to Work for it. Perhaps you had better go over some Risk and Loss limits with your daughter first <GG>. No one really ever explained to me, when I started out, about limiting my risks or losses. I was Young, Dumb and full of Cxx! I put Everything at risk. It ended up costing me my life savings a couple of times and kept me out of the markets for a while. I keep telling myself that "I have learned" but there are a lot of days were I am Positive that I have not learned Anything <GG>. I am sure that with your guidance your daughter will become a very successful and intelligent investor. Like You of course!

Good Luck Fred! And Daughter! Sincerely, Bob :^)
