johntan1979 | Isn't that amazing? Make money on the option (in-the-money), and then make more money on the future. |
Inaganti6 | how is money made on the option...call had to be paid for.....short put and short call i can understand as you get the premium. |
Kiniry | Does the cash payment come from the mark-to-market on the future once you actually own it? |

I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
