I see that all the experienced investors here use option to trade with while holding their core position.



I have never traded options.
I play a lot of blackjack and I suspect options are similar in that not only do you have to know how to play but money management is paramount as most bets lose.

quote]Based on what everyone else here is doing, I deduced that the option route is preferred.



That only thing you could deduce,from the very small sample of total investors in Ariad on this site that use options, is that there are a very small sample of the total investors in Ariad that happen to be on this site using options.
I would hazard a guess that there are a bunch of serious investors in Ariad that don't post here for precisely this reason.

If you are determined to try your hand at options,
I would suggest you learn a bit about it and try trading options without using real cash for awhile.
I believe there are a number of brokerage sites that allow you to learn to trade options without using actual cash.
