a little smart investing tips (Options)
---------------------------------------
1. more than 70% of option longs lost all or part of their money. This is historically very true and very likely will be for future also.
2. Once in a while the options long can get lucky and made some money. But like gambling, over the long run will lose out.
3. The options market can be somewhat manipulated by large investors and finanacial houses that also hold a large portion of the underlying stocks.
4. If more than 70% of options' long lost money than common sense said that it's better to be at the other side of the table.
