Are you interested in finding out strategies to become a successful trader buying and selling options? If yes, keep reading.

Everything we do and how we live are the result of oil and its power. This inherent structure is based on what one man did when the oil industry was just starting off.

That is the concept emphasized by the Pareto principle. ...
