Greg you're great . I have been following your work for years . Over half a decade now . I am in silver and gold stocker . I've never been willing to sacrifice my investments and silver to invest in options . I have a very small budget but I'm very knowledgable about options . I know the basics like calls and puts I think I know the difference between us trying on straddle just get them confused . I'm not exactly sure how to properly hedge A position . I'm finally able now to get into trading options . My friend you think some nights because he's a zombie and can't walk and gum at the same time , finally woke up when I started talking about options today . I don't want to lose his money so I need to take my time getting into this cause I'm still new at it considering I haven't done it . I am very knowledgable because I listen to Al most every blog you do every day . Is there anyone out there who could list some of the basics . Or maybe even you Greg could you go over the basics once again and some of your videos . I would so much appreciate this . Greg I want you to know that my friend is definitely willing to donate to charity in fact he was certainly wants to do so he wants to go out of his way to do so and would've done so anyways . If there's anyone out there who can give me up a few pointers such as how much an option cost and how much I should be putting it out once with the lower amount of budget maybe $10,000 total not for one trade please comment .
