dd..: Naz can give you more info on options than I but if you
go to http://www.888options.com/ you can get some free
brochures and an options training CD, "free".....

It's a good place to start. There are lots of options tutorials
at the site and you can call them toll free if you have a questions.

ddfridd007 - options.....

question: can you sell contracts at any time, much like a stock?

Yes, you may sell your contracts anytime prior to expiration during normal market hours. Options are tradeable securities just like stocks. You may sell your options as a market order or a limit order just as you would stocks. Just be mindful that trading commissions are a little higher for options than for stocks.

you have a newbie link to learn option's trading?

I read several books, took an options trading course and executed several paper trades before I ever began trading options. I'm presently at my office so I don't have the books handy. If interested, I can post them later.

I don't know who you trade options with. Ameritrade, with whom I trade with, has a section which describes option trading, including advanced techniques.

http://www.ameritrade.com

Other links include:

http://www.cboe.com/LearnCenter/

http://www.optionvue.com/WhatIsOptionsTrading.htm

http://www.optionetics.com/education/trading.asp


I hope this helps answer some of your questions. Nice trade so far on the GFI options. Good luck.



Regards,



Naz

Give yourself plenty of months out(January) and buy in the money.
