I'm just now learning, but god damn I already love options.
Not because I'm ever going to do anything more complex than a covered call (buy stock, sell a contract for somebody to buy it at X price on Y day, pocket the fee, be happy when the contract you sold expires worthless because I was planning on holding for a year anyway) but because it's one of those situations where you take 2 or 4 ways to organize them and it explodes in complexity based on the myriad of ways you can organize them.
Also options strategies have the coolest names like "Iron Condor".
my introduction to options was people on /r/wsb detroying their financial future to entertain people on longshot bets.
i know its far less risky than that if you do it right, but just doesnt intertest me. i dont have time to monitor things daily, i make 3 month crypto bets where i generally have to choose between decent gain, nominal gain, and break even. have yet to do worse than -1-2% on a trade.
at least since my first week, when i was trying to day trade up 1-5% on a diversified crypto portfolio and taking way too much time just for a tiny gain.
