i trade both. for better leverage i take multi week options in some cases.
AAPL options are very costly on first 3 days of week. AAPL is only good on thurs/friday. i follow AAPL stock religiously check my posts in AAPL board.
check out other options premiums in this board there are very decent picks given out every week, which iam clocking more than 70% winning picks out of 20.
