Hi Ziv, I found your Twitter profile which led me to this board. I am very new to options, just in the beginning of the "studying" phase, but I would like to ask you three simple questions:

1.) I obviously am not even close to $100K so, I would like to know what you think would be an absolute minimum amount to open an options account with.

2.) In order to sell options, as you are doing, do you not have to own the underlying stock?

3.) I mentioned I am in the very beginning of studying options. I hope to move from stocks to options and I'd like to know what websites you suggest as good studying material.

Thank you very much for your time in answering my questions.

Jeff
