How did you guys learn about options? Any recommended reading/videos? I'm planning on continuing my long-term plan but would like to throw some "fun money" into something else.
Perhaps consider a tastyworks account; initially fund it with a little bit that you can spare to lose. Then follow tastytrade (the media arm of tastyworks). Lots of live on air programming and educational material. By far the best education out there. Their platform is nice as everybody that works there and is “on air” posts their trades to the platform. You can see what they’re doing and follow if you do choose. Having tried all the platforms I give Tastyworks my vote!
