Important Considerations
- • Options have expiration dates - time decay reduces value
- • Volatility affects option pricing (implied volatility)
- • Options are leveraged instruments - high risk, high reward
- • Consider transaction costs and taxes in calculations
- • Never invest more than you can afford to lose
