many people will say it's stupid to trade options in a roth ira b/c of
the large risk associated with naked positions (remember, options
traders hedge positions thereby making trades based on volatility, or
chance of movement, of the underlying... and not on direction).
however, as a 23 yr old i think it's very smart to make trades w/ high
potential profit within an account with tax advantages. keep risk vs
reward in mind when doing these trades. if it works out, you won't
ever be taxed on the gains, assuming you can wait until you're 59.5yrs
old. compounded returns over 37+ years is beautiful.
