Interested in trading call options - only trading, not exercising. Going to start out with cheapest calls worth ~$100 and go up from there over time. Can anyone give me some advice, tips or point me to some more helpful information. Thanks!

I look in my mailbox,

From the senior center,
A package has arrived

I unwrap the green sheets,
Then squeal with delight,
With financial statements,
The net income ties,

I then flip to the perms,
Starting with M&E,
My stomach starts growling,
So I move on hurriedly

What large penalty numbers,
These rule breaking folks,
A few fines here and there,
To them it's a joke

Book depreciation,
Less than tax I see,
DTL is created,
As favorable as can be
