Indeed, it is very suitable for beginners. For me, options are more difficult to invest than stocks. I won't invest in options easily. High income matches high risk.
- EricVaughan回复Darrenneoyo:
  For me, the risk of options is relatively high. And the requirements for professional financial knowledge are higher. I don't think I have the ability to invest in options at present.
- Darrenneoyo回复Hazelle_TJI:
  I think options are very interesting as it allows you to profit in all direction and even allows you to hedge your portfolio. but I won't count it as an investment. more of a short term play
- Hazelle_TJI:
  Options are indeed more complicated. But risks come from not knowing and not understanding what we are doing.

So, most people should like to buy options rather than selling options, then the market is not at an equilibrium?
- Hazelle_TJI:
  The purpose of this guide is for those who are totally new to options to understand more about it from one of the leg. It is not a recommendation on whether buying or selling option is better!

Very helpful video! It has a good guiding significance for me to buy options. Buying options is more risky than buying stocks. If you buy in the wrong direction, it will be a disaster!
