Force install port on FreeBSD

Options Trading

I started options trading a little while back. Decided to get my feet wet with something simple and inexpensive. I bought a $6.00 BAC Call in OCT that expired Dec 17. The stock price rose to $7.30 which was a 50% gain but I held on another day. In after hours trading it went back [...]
