"why don't you just get the stock?"

I own the stock also. Plenty of it. But sometimes I dont feel like shelling out 200 bucks a share when I can own the MOVEMENT on more shares of stock by owning options.

If I had $90,000 to invest, I could buy 10 options (or control the movement of 1000 shares <150 strike price - dec. expiration>). But if I bought the common, I would own less then 500 shares. Obviously with options, you can enhance your gains and exagerate your losses if you are wrong.
