That's funny. Anyone interested in investing with options can't be too normal, that's why we can make more money than the rest. ;) Normal. That’s funny.

Of course I'm just aiming higher. I'll have a better chance by next week's option expiration to play a little more catch up. I'm trying to avoid looking back on moves like FNM where I could've had a few hundred profit instead of $2500+ loss if I had waited it out. Just that move alone would have me positive, I think.

All in all, given the higher beta of your strategy (2x), a -4.21% vs a -2.92% SPX is not bad. These days, the most important thing is to live to play tomorrow.
