i found all of the stuff on CBOE very helpful after i had already learned some basics in admin's thread about "getting started in options"......it is more basics on CBOE but they go through them quite quickly so as to not give you a chance to absorb the lingo, methods, and ideas behind options.

investopedia is always great for reference and paper trading.

Learning involitility....confusing at first.

I can't wait to make some cash but i can wait for a few months till i get my "sea legs" so to speak.
