  1. Kim one on one mentoring sounds good, but what about holding a yearly training conference where members physically attend? I think there would be demand for a 4 day workshop. Maybe there are good reasons why this is not practical, but I wanted to run this by you.

  2. Usually, tight bid/ask spreads go along with decent options trading volume and OI - but there certainly may be some exceptions. However, you also have to look at the underlying stock price, as a 0.05 width bid/ask is a lot different for a $20 stock than it is for a $100 stock

  3. I used to consider OI and volume leading for liquidity, these days I also look at the bid/ask and strongly prefer it to be less than 10% off either bid or ask depending on which side I'm on. However, all things being equal I strongly prefer there to be some OI too. A tight bid/ask could be just one market maker, and what if he decides not to market make as market conditions change? Then I can't exit a position easily. A larger OI/Volume indicate to me that there are (probably) at least be some other participants I could trade with. But that's just my perception, maybe others could chime in?
