I like to own stock... ownership makes sense to me... and I have not to this point purchased options, though I have enjoyed eavesdropping on options discussions on this board... I am interested in learning more...
I have seen several posts like this one I am responding to which suggest that the writers of options have the resources to manipulate pps until options expire effectively screwing the options purchaser...
If that is the case, then options would seem to be a risky play... if the writer has the means to effectively run out the clock, then doesn't that change the risk/reward equation in a way that is unfavorable to the purchaser?
