RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Until BREXITA lot o commission in options. It's $1.25 per contract plus the usual $7 or $10 with TD. I've bought options at $0.04 before, so the commission was 20% of trade just in 1 transaction, but then they can go up a lot more than etf's (or down a lot more). THere is a huge time value decay much more even than HVU. Yesterday the VXX $16 put when I bought was down 30% when VXX was up only 1.4%. They are only for short term holds. VXX put went up another 30% today. I only put in a couple grand.
