From what I have read on option trading tips it seems like investing in options is more like a betting system. I suppose that any type of investments that you are in in the stock market is a bet, but I guess it just does seem that risky to me if you are diversified enough and you study your investments. I am a bit leery on the option portion of investing and I would really like to know more about it and of course hear about the tops so I can understand what it is. I am sure it is not strictly betting.
