Too much risk for a given return. I mainly buy deep in the money options with premia as close to that a futures contract would have as possible. I prefer to trade futures now (especially as it has lower taxes). I am interested though in currency options. But seems that IB doesn't trade the Philly currency options and the online market in options on AUD futures seems non-existent. I found forex futures to be rather scary :) I own BHP through the Colonial First State Global Resources Fund (6% of net worth)… likely there is some in the CFS Conservative Fund too.
