Toofuzzy,

Yes, options do carry much greater leverage than stocks. You said 100% loss is possible. For this to happen, one would have to close all of their positions at the bottom prices. Otherwise, those are just paper losses. Right?

Or does the risk lie in the stock price lingering at the bottom for years, and you can't roll over those options, because you've run out of cash?
