Lately I've been digging through older finance books to find useful kernels of truth - books about trading in general but also about options. I'm still new to options trading, so it's too close to gambling to feel very comfortable. Gambling made me think of dice, and my limited edition cotton candy DCC dice are my favorite - so quirky and colorful. DCC - Dungeon Crawl Classics - is like Dungeons & Dragons but with somewhat different rules. I recommend giving it a try some time if you haven't. It's a lot easier than successfully trading options, although your characters may not live very long.
