At this point I am following three ETFs and one financial stock. I strictly play only stock options. Reason is that they involve less capitol and thus less risk. Also they can yield enormous gains that can even put penny stocks to shame in terms of percentage gains while you are playing on a much more solid ground to boot. SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (safest play today with gold expected to triple within a year)www.google.com/finance?q=gldFinancial Select Sector SPDR (ETF) (just following the weakest link in today's market)www.google.com/finance?q=xlfPowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF) (follows what the nasdaq is doing)www.google.com/finance?q=qqqqPNC Financial Services (Public, NYSE:PNC) (target us $17sh (now $27) within 1-2 weeks if market takes a nose dive)www.google.com/finance?q=pnc

If one was to play a straddle (5call and 5put with same expiration date on pnc) with 500 on each option? 5 call = $500 x 13.23 = $6615 5 put = $500 x 0.1625 (100-83.75) = $81 combined gain = 6615 + 81 = $6696 or +569.6%(on a $1000 original investment in 5 days) www.investopedia.com/terms/s/straddle.asp
