Investing - December 2006

I keep reading about how people set up these complex options spread scenarios like strangle and straddle etc where they are simultaneously buying and selling calls and puts. How can you sell a call or put option before buying it? ... or am I misunderstanding the whole thing altogether?

Retirement Question for all you smart finance wizards.Ok here is a toughy I hope some financial guru's can help me out. I am 22 years old and am looking at my retirement. I want to have atleast 2 million to retire on at age 60. I would like to start investing in a Roth IRA asap. I also plan on doing a 401 K plan once I get a real job after graduating. What I'd like to know is what will I have to invest in the Roth IRA up til age 60 and what will I need to invest in my 401K plan to have atleast 2 mill by age 60. Lets assume I am getting 8 percent return a year. Now I also realize that 2 million today will not equal 2 million by the time I am 60. I would like to invest 3% more(inflation rate) each year so that by the time I really am 60 I will REALLY have 2 million dollars. I hope you know what I mean. Looking forward to any responses. I want to adjust for inflation rates.

Meaning, can a demand for a stock ever become so low that no one will buy it? or is there always someone that will buy stocks (e.g brokers) if you want to sell? I guess may be an explination on what happens to stocks when they are traded can also help. Thanks!
