Problem with these "cheap" options is the trading fee is already 5% of the value...

How much is your trading fee? For me it's $1.00 to get into and $1.00 to get out of one-legged option positions.

I pay about 2,80 each trade. Thus 5,60 in and out.

Ok. So you are affected by commissions IF you buy options under $100 bucks. Especially if you buy cheap options like me...$20-$50 bucks $5.60 would definitely be a consideration in the decisions you make. If you buy options that cost $100-$300 dollars $5.60 wouldn't be a big deal. Doing the math it sounds like you buy options right around $100 bucks sometimes.......5% of 100 being 5 bucks. Who is your broker if you dont mind me asking? Maybe you can get a better commission rate elsewhere. Or even a better commission rate with your current broker. Commissions are negotiable, not set in stone. I trade options with TDAmeritrade on the thinkorswim platform. My commission rate is $1.00 in and $1.00 out as stated. If you are with TDAmeritrade you can get the same rate.

Intel is dead for at least next year. AMD released beast processors that 10-15% better than INTL. Personally i'm planning to buy one this year. Currently intel sitting at support so it could bounce back to 50$ in a short term.

I had an AMD chip in a laptop once. I could fry eggs on that thing. If I see AMD on a laptop package I'm running for the hills!

It was an issue before like 10-15Y last generation 2017+ is way better. New CEO did outstanding work for the past 6Y

Well I have heard really good things from folks lately about AMD chips and I thought they needed a psychiatrist. But you are the only one who explained the reason why AMD chips are good....."now". Now I know it was the fault of who was in charge previously. Thanks guy.
