Greatly appreciate your comments. As for the $250,000 minimum, I went with what I have experienced to be the industry standard. Also, if you acquired your margin account before ’08 occurred, the level of margin allowed is nearly 50% greater than it is now.

For intr-day and intra-week trades, that is typically only recommended for professionals and day traders. Long dated options are historically safer plays when combined with high growth companies. Their propensity to move rapidly in either direction is quite high.

If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

I have an options-enabled brokerage account at TDAmeritrade. I think I have a level 2 account, and I’ve gone into some ratio backspreads here and there. My interface says I have the capacity to fill butterflies if I want, and mind you I have a lot less disposable than $250K. The real problem with butterflies and condors from my end, however, is the commissions – I suspect that’s really where the firms milk consumers.

My other problem is that intra-day and intra-week trades require a great deal of attention, and I have a real job which is itself highly time consuming. I’ve therefore decided to back out of options investment altogether, plunk everything into Vanguard issues, and find something else to obsess about. If I was unemployed and had a lot more disposable cash, I’d probably find a better options broker and start butterflying and condoring away.
