Fowl - What is the most common options question that you guys get? Question from P. James Lamar - Can you guys recommend an options platform for an active option trader? I'll try to add a link to what I used to be able to do on my old platform but am no longer able to do. But I would like to find another platform that has single click entry and exit for options. If you know one please let me know. Thanks. Question from Charlie C. - What's the weirdest thing you've seen in the options market? Question from LTV$ - What is the cheapest way to buy an option? Question from Tim T. - You guys slammed buying straddles on your last show. Are they really that dangerous? Or is it more a question of people not knowing what they were getting into? Comment from Allen Van - My Favorite Greek - My options trading is mostly focused around theta. I really don't pay attention to the other Greeks. It's all about collecting the theta. Seems to be working so far. Am I nuts?
