So once I get my funds together, what is the standard move on an option. What would I need in order to fund an options account and make it profitable covering all the fees involved ?

The bottom line is "survive". Every time bear's comeing will make people lose insight for the value of a stock. there is nothing new unders sunlight, just see backward what happened in history will help us understand what will happen in future.

BUT on that front i'm really happy with two particular holdings: BPT and PCU. both deal with commodities priced in dollars and as the price of oil, for example, goes up, BPT goes up. 20% again since oct and 12% divs. not bad. PCU has heavy resistance at 115 or so now but i expect that earnings are going to be amazing and that they'll be hiking the div next quarter. (open orders on PCU at 105 to 106 will probably execute as that's where support is. i have an open order for another 20 shares if it goes to 90 again but i doubt that will happen). oh! and because the stock is fairly volatile the options are going for pretty good money. i think the gold and oil increases are only a result of our depreciating dollar. bummer about that. hopefully the fed’s move to deal in CDO’s (and the likes) instead of lowering rates will help stimmi the fall. it’s getting pretty bad.

There is no P2P sharing in any way. It may take some time for them to get the service going and the music labels on board (if it happens at all).
