Like everyone, I would like more money but I don't NEED 0more money. I made over 200k in 2002 -2005 with stocks and options and placed it in in Fidelity 500.

I stopped the trading as it became stressful, being in addition to a regular teaching job. I may now go back to it on a more limited basis, using longer timed options.

Good luck on your strategy.
