BUT the average investor can't do this in their 401K.....

You're correct! Very few 401Ks allow option trading, but you can open a personal IRA and do it!

Option trading takes a lot of study leaning the greeks and how they work. I'm getting close to getting a grasp. I plan to jump in on March 1st!

Re: Anybody investing in the stock market right no

Is a 10-15% goal, annually, a workable goal?

I was in LVLT for a while, but they just got hit with a class action lawsuit. Stocks are down.

I looked at ALU. They have been basically bouncing off the $1.86 support since November 20th. Looking at today's chart, they have broken thru support with heavy volume, and the $1.86 is acting like the new resistance. Look for the stock to go to new lows!

An individual investor can get in and out immediately.

I enjoy his resources. They are very easy to understand, compared to some.

I see the secret to this is learning one area at a time. Most of us aren't working with millions. That was what I liked about Town, he moreso focused on one area at a time.

It's definitely a good long term buy, but for the short term it could get rocky! :)
