Beginner Options Strategy: Long Call — A Smart Way to Play the Upside | #OptionsHandbook EP030
Buying a stock is the classic way to profit when prices go up. But what if you don't want to commit a large chunk of money? What if you wish to limit downside but still want to capture the upside?
That’s where a long call comes in!
📘 The Options Handbook breaks down how the Long Call works—the risk, reward, and that ‘small bet, big payoff’ effect:
▶ Control Your Risk 💡
Let's say Pear Inc. is trading at $100. You believe it could reach $120 in a month.
You have two choices:
-
Buy 100 shares for $10,000.
-
Or buy a one-month call option (strike $100) for $300.
If the stock drops, your max loss is only $300—not a painful stock position.
▶ Boost Your Returns 🚀
If the stock jumps to $120, the call could rise to $2,000.
Sell it, and you pocket $1,700—a 560% gain, far higher than just holding the stock. That’s the magic of leverage in options.
▶ Time Decay⚠️
Of course, if the stock doesn’t move up, time decay could send the option to zero—you’d lose the premium.
