That is one thing that I always got confused about when discussing w/ Stuffie ie. 'trading/commish. costs' !

So.....If I would buy 100 shares of a STOCK....priced at $36.00, I have
$3600. invested and it cost me $7.95 a trade (both in and out).


Conversely, if you buy that same stock only as options --- priced at
.36 cents ($36.00 per contract)........are you still paying the same
$7.95 to execute the buy and sell of contract(s) ?


If so ----- isn't that a LOT more costly as a PERCENTAGE of trade
cost to total investment? Am I missing something?
