Kevin: Just an FYI ...
ETFC
The Oct $2 calls are still cheap.
They were 0.10 this morning.
Now they're 0.22.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
I don't even know where to find these never mind knowing which ones to buy and when.
OK, I admit it - I have NO understanding of options, and I'm getting jealous of some of the ridiculous gains that one could make buying and selling these things.
School me (or at least provide a link to get some better understanding of how to do this - you seem to have a solid understanding of how this all works).

Kevin:
Speaking of "ridiculous" gains ... !!
LQQK AT THIS!!!!
Today AIG went from $39.16 to $49.94!!
Now .. why do I play the options?
#1 - they're CHEAP.
#2 - settlement is next day, unlike stock trades which are T+3.
Let's get back to ... "cheap".
I could've bought 100 shrs. of AIG @ $39 today and sold @ $49 and made $1k.
However, why should I tie up that amount of money, w/ 3-day settlement when I can achieve the same thing w/ an option?
Here's how it works.
Go to TOS.
Your option symbol for the Oct $39 call is IKG-JM.
Why not buy at the open @ $4.30 and sell before the close @ $12 to $13?
You've basically spent $430 and gotten back $1300!
LOL!
Now THAT'S trading!!

BTW, Kevin ...
Just because you got out of ETFC, doesn't mean you can't get back in.
