First of all I don’t waste time discussing money, wealth, returns or material goods on line when we can’t see each other’s accounts. I was being civil, you’ve chosen to not to be. Show me where I implied any sort of great wealth on my part?

As far as options go, I spent 20 years as a professional options trader, having had seats on three different exchanges and been an off floor member of one other.

There is no way to determine how many people have increased their own returns via options just the same way there is no way to determine how many people have lost money.
You may continue with your sarcasm and smuggery.

You have already stated you don’t believe people should buy homes with mortgages and I am not surprised to find this sort of attitude from you regarding options and the capital markets in general.

For the record, I am not a quant, I don’t have an advanced degree in mathematics nor a Ivy League education. You don’t always need those lessons to understand the principles of options.
