What feels best to me is a back rub from my female servents:-)

Seriously, I can't take the heat in the day trading room so I stay out.
Others can work in a furnace. I hate the admit it but I am a counter
puncher, that may not be the best internal makeup for trading in general.
It's why I like to have a hedged position.

Speaking of being hedged, the problem with options is first illiquidiity,
secondly the fact that you can lose 50% of the value of an option within the
2 standard deviation swings that markets make on their way to higher or
lower prices. That means that you are always being pushed to buy or sell at
just the wrong time.

Although some have said trading is easy, it's not.
