  • Comment 1 from @MarkBrant1KM: One thing I learned from Dr. J. that you guys don't discuss much is how return on margin is paramount to retail traders!
  • Comment 2 from ‏@MarkBrant1KM: Main focus should be maximizing return on margin when trading options!

Mystery Block: Mark Sebastian discusses risk and reward.
