You guys are so funny to read! It reminds me of a story about a guy who had a flat in the desert and didn't have a jack. He looked around and saw a light in the distance and said, "hey maybe they have a jack." He started walking towards the light and about a fourth of the way there he said to himself, "That guy could charge me 5 bucks for that jack and I would have to pay it... hmm" When he got half way there he was a little more agitated and said, "That guy could charge me 10 bucks for that jack and I would have to pay it... shoot!" When he got 3/4 of the way there he was highly agitated and said, "That guy could charge me 15 bucks for that jack and I would have to pay it because I need a jack!... !^@%@$#@!" He was just about to the steps of the persons house and ranting loudly, "That guy could charge me 20 DOLLARS for that jack and I would still have to pay it!!!!" He stormed up the steps and banged on the door! When the owner opened the door he shouted, spitting mad, "YOU CAN TAKE YOUR JACK AND STICK IT!"
The concept of options in finance is a very lucrative way to control a lot of something with a little bit of money. It is not automatically a ponzi scheme! The things you mention are very real possibilities and you should always practice due diligence. There is only one dealer on eBay that I would trust for options and that is bryanemory. He was the first one to sell Dinar options on eBay, I believe. I have watched his volumes and he never has a glut of options available even during times of the biggest demand. He is VERY restrained which implies he has the currency to cover the options he wrote. I have exercised options with him before and always had it delivered as promised! Others, I have calculated, would need to have some 100 million Dinar to cover all of theirs. I believe this guy is a Christian man and would honor his word!
Anyway, like you, I just want this thing to pop already!! I could buy a 30 day option every month for 6 months and still not pay as much as the actual currency would have cost. Then, after the RV I will cash in some of what I have and exercise all the options.
Merry Christmas!!
