Stock options will CRUSH most people.
Why?
Because what are options actually used for?
- Leverage
- Cash flow
- Hedge
Most retail investors use them mostly for leverage.
Leverage to get "higher returns"
But think about this...
Why on earth would you want a "leveraged return" on a company that you have no clue what direction it will move and when...
Leverage works both ways!
Most use it to lose more...
Instead, only use options to magnify an expected return that you have A LOT of confidence in & you did your homework.
Other than that, stay away.
Yes, selling options for cash flow is great, but that's for another post!
