I bought my first calls on Sept 21 2007 with a mere $2,200
My holdings as of this post have a value of $7,640, not including the original 2200
In essence, I have been able to turn 2200 into 9840 (447%) in 5 months
This also includes one trade incurring a 68% loss
In this time period, the major indices have lost 10-15% of their values
