"Hello, everyone. This is Chris Markowski, President of Markowski Investments and host of The Watchdog on Wall Street radio show, here to tell you how to day trade stock options. Don't do it! If you need to be watching me right now to learn how to day trade stock options, don't do it! I'm not going to perform brain surgery on myself by watching a video, so you most certainly should not be doing this. Stock options are actually fantastic, great tools to protecting your downside and hedging a portfolio, but it needs to be done the right way. If you think you're going to be able to day trade stock options and beat those big traders over at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and all those guys, you've got another thing coming. Use stock options if you've got positions in the market, if you want to protect your downside, write some covered calls, get some income in your portfolio, but trying to time the markets over time is a complete exercise in futility, not something you want to do. To learn more about stock options, because we do cover this and their importance, get to our website, watchdogonwallstreet.com. This is Chris Markowski, your watchdog on Wall Street."
