When used in a certain way, options can actually reduce risk... or at least that's what a couple of options experts have told me and even laid out the argument quite nicely... However, like you, I'm still learning other stuff and only buy/sell options occasionally -- usually selling puts on a stock I'l like to own -- sort of like being paid to wait on a stink bid... and less frequently selling calls... have very rarely put on straddles, but somehow still don't see the point of buying "insurance" in the form of options -- if I think I need insurance on a position, I'm probably better off selling the position in most cases...
