Why trade options?

Limited dollar risk and limited dollar exposure

As an option buyer, you benefit from being able to control the movement in a stock for just a fraction of the cost of purchasing that stock. Plus, you can never lose more than this modest dollar amount. As a result, you can keep the bulk of your investment dollars in the safety of cash where it is immune to the wild and often scary swings in the market.
