How to play options and make it big? Long term options can not make money unless fundamentals changed after you bought a contract. Option money making has to happen within a few days. Option dealers when contracts are not balanced, will throw money on real stock to adjust the price. It is a gambling operation, so, you have to learn how they price the options, after you bought it. It cost you $3.5/share to buy a contract. They use odds to price options straddling them based on how the contracts are balanced. One sided contracts will provoke extraordinary actions. It is not for ordinary investors, except those willing to pay insurance to keep their profits intact on their stock investment. Majority of options expire without any action.
