Why Options? (Part 1)

I’ll admit it:  as a full-time, independent, retail trader, I think options are the way to go.

I actually believe that trading options is better than trading stocks or futures.  This would be very, very difficult to prove, though.  When it gets down to the trading system, whether discretionary or systematic, it would be extremely difficult to convince anyone that options are unequivocally better.

I certainly think I can do things trading options that I cannot do trading anything else.

In this blog series, I’ll settle for demonstrating why trading options is not as bad as most people think.

Aim high?  The Air Force does but I am aiming lower.

I will not make the case for options as best.

I will not make the case for options as better.

I will only make the case for options being not as bad as everyone thinks they are.  Even this could be a paradigm shift just waiting to happen.
