geez, people trying to learn options from strangers better hold their money tight;)
There's far more to it than anyone here is going to explain. People need to study the ins and outs.
Gosh knows the variables are endless and as with stocks, you're competing with pros,, so it's anything but a lock, even if you get direction correct.
The game is rigged and I'm willing to bet that something like 5-10% of options players make out.
That said, get the timing right and a hefty move in a short time like being short ISRG 2 weeks ago,the gains can be mind boggling.
Hence the value of inside info;)
