Investor Help (NO Ihub questions)

Hi Y'all. Got a question. Played on and off with buying/selling stocks for a while now(few years or so). While I have the basics down and a mild understanding of things, I have been talking to a few people lately about options trading. Seems like a good idea due to the low amount of cash needed to control larger numbers of shares. But, I am new and don't think I have enough understanding of the full process yet to throw money at it yet.
For example; I have my eye on a stock that I've bought a few shares of. Its about $110/share. I'm pretty confident that it will be going up in value over the next few months etc. Options trading seems like a great option since its only about $1-$8 on the options page.
Anyone have some opinions, ideas, or experience?
Thanks
