Mail Block: Listener questions and comments

  • Question from Carmine - Hi guys, awesome site, great info Since I actually think you guys are for real, I have a simple question. I have just put my toes into options, I know I need help in education, but there are so many places that are more interested in taking your money than helping you. So I am asking you guys, where do you think is a good place to go and learn the simple things at first, such as, when, why, and how to use spreads, or maybe not use them. To day trade or not? I am hungry, with a small account. I am asking for your help. Thank you.
