Within the next year, I will compile a list of the 15 biggest stock market misconceptions and I’ll work to expose the truth of them in order to educate people, young and old, on investing the right way and on maximizing your returns, while not entirely maximizing your risk.
Just recently, in the past 5 months, I’ve learned a ton about options trading. Not just options basics 101 on what it means to buy and sell calls and puts. I’ve actually learned the mechanics of how to open and close trades from start to finish.
I’ve been learning about how deltas, volatility, vega, and gamma all are vitally important pieces of data and how to use them as guidance tools when placing options trades. Most importantly, I’ve been learning about how trading options allows me to use up smaller amounts of buying power per trade so I’m able to have more trades on in my portfolio than when I’m trading stocks.
