Options
Buying options is a losers game. The seller or writer typically comes out ahead.
Buying options at about 1/3 of the share price is nothing short of madness. You buy 1/3 of the shares for the same money and you get to keep the shares and upside forever.
Does not make any sense whatsoever. Except maybe if it is one leg of a multi leg trade. Perhaps they use it like they used to use the warrants in combination with shorts.

Well Winter I do agree somewhat but. There is that But! If You were correct ( which sorry you are not!) there would be no such thing as options! And we both know options are a big thing! Why? Because most investors think they are investors when actually they are gamblers in reality! lol

Option buying is the losers game. These are the amateurs. Option selling or writing is of course the other side. The Pros win. Why there are options? Does not matter, the options are there. Buying and selling futures/options is a really old game, might even precede the stock markets.
