Replying to @ZEROHERO:Agree with you :) I like options. There are strategies which you can use it for investment, trading. //@ZEROHERO:Options trading is a strategy game.

In recent years, particularly during the economic turbulence caused by the global health crisis, options trading has surged in popularity among retail investors in the United States. Data from the Options Clearing Corporation shows that during the peak of the epidemic, the volume of options traded soared, with daily average trading volumes in 2020 increasing by about 50% compared to the previous year. However, this increase in activity has not universally led to success; statistics suggest that approximately 80% of retail options traders end up losing money, with average losses often exceeding initial investments by significant margins.

I would love to learn and explore options . It’s very interesting!

the inherent chance that the price could chance rapidly is what we all dread but it's there due diligence and good information can reduce the chance elements of trading options. I'd say it's investing as gambling tends to be more about luck than judgement⭐

There's always views from Everybody, may it be Gambling or Investing. [Chuckle] my 2cents is "Follow your own Trade Plan" [Salute]
