Myths:

Option Myths Demystified: Myth #1 - Selling options is the only way to make money since 90% of options expire worthless.
Option Myths Demystified: Myth #2 - You should only buy low-priced (cheap) options to limit your risk.
Option Myths Demystified: Myth #3 - When I buy an option I am taking the risk that whoever sold me the option may not be around when I want to sell or exercise this option.
Option Myths Demystified: Myth #4 - Nobody exercises an option before expiration, and so the risk of being assigned early is virtually nonexistent.
Option Myths Demystified: Myth #5 - By their nature options are short-term instruments and forecasting short-term price movements is nearly impossible.
Option Myths Demystified: Myth #6 - The best way to play a volatile stock is to buy call options, put options, or even both.
Option Myths Demystified: Myth #7 - Options are a zero-sum game: in order to make money, the trader on the floor who bought or sold an option has to lose for me to make money.
