About the Author

 Before 2012, I knew very little about options trading. I had believed all the bad news about losing all my money and, that Options were too risky for individual investors. Even my financial planner tried to steer me away from adding option trading to my brokerage account. Of course, he didn't trade options. So, I decided to forge my own path and get the information I needed to trade options in my own account.

During my working career I was a building contractor and was very accustomed to taking risks. This seemed like a good subject to spend my time and energy pursuing.

I thought retirement would be boring. That couldn't have been further from the truth.

Now I trade my own account and have plenty of free time to spend with my family and doing the other things I enjoy
