So I just opened an online options trading account.

The goal is to make enough money so I never have to work again. So I'm thinking about 6 million after taxes in the next couple of years. But I'd settle for more!

I look for easy arbitrage opportunities and I do a little technical analysis and look for easy stuff to avoid (earnings reports, dividends,etc...)
I like to trade stuff on big companies I used to work for. At least I have the illusion of superior knowledge. Just sold some out of the money put options that expire on 5/12. Crazy how much you need to keep in the margin account for naked selling. Apparently different strategies (like spreads) require lower margins.

If I make it, I'll keep you posted.
