options vs stocks which is more profitable
user
nearly 3 years ago, i wrote an article, betting on apple at 9 to 2 which described a bet in which a 35% move in the stock returned 354% on the option trade. leverage works both ways, no move, or a slight move down, and the bet would have been lost. while i find this to be entertaining, i don't call it investing.  with $2-$3k, i recommend paper trading first, and if you enter option trades, no one trade should be more than 20% of this money. if you had $50k in betting money, no position over 10%.
