A lot of people are making this costly mistake
You may have heard the saying “options are risky” … And, they can be. But only if you use them the way a lot of folks do. A lot of people think of BUYING speculative options when they talk about options. And BUYING low probability, speculative options is definitely risky… It’s how some folks leverage large sums of money hoping that a stock moves in the “right” direction over a certain period of time.
