How many individuals vs institutions trade options?

  1. Anyone know and is there any breakdown. ie do the majority of individuals buy or do they sell
    same with institutions.

    It seems that no one I have met does anything with options, they just trade or buy stocks.
     
  2. You can help them understand the advantages of using options to hedge those stock positions.

    I believe the majority of individuals make the mistake of buying options
