As fascinating as all this is, it is really         
only useful for wealthy traders, people
who have at least $25,000 and are   
able to purchase 100 to 1000 shares
using options contracts.  Even then   
the limit of what can be lost is more
than the limit of what can be gained,
so it was in one example anyway; but
the Chicago Board Options Exchange
does provide courses for beginners.
