I don’t object to threads about the general merits of option buying/writing in biotech investing; rather, what I object to is cluttering this board with posts that person X is buying/writing N options on company C’s stock with strike S and expiration date D for a price of P and is asking other readers to chime in as to whether it’s a good plan. Stuff like that belongs on another board.



I had set up such a board many, many years ago on Silicon Investor, but didn't get many posters. Evidentually, it died out.

See http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=56403

If you review the posts, you can see that there are clearly loss possibilities (including significant short term losses in MNTA). If one had the discipline to keep going, those losses would have been made back, plus plus. But that is easier said than done.
