OTOT
Question for an options player:
If two companies look equally capable and interesting,
but the options on one stock costs $25 and the other ones options cost $2, have you found it better to invest the same amount in
each of the options, rather than buy one of each.??
Example: I have(among others):
1 Qcom- aawil total cost 2500 =-63% (-1600)
2 Intc- inqip total cost 700 =+125% ((+917)
So it appears I would be better off to have bought
perhaps 6 of the intc options rather than 2. (or to have bought only the Intc options(hahahahaha).
Am curious as to others experience. After writing this post it seems to "make sense" to invest about the same amount in each- all other things being equal. It would amount to diversification where a drop in one stock price would not ruin the whole day.

Sig( who will buy almost any Dell option at almost any price)
