Financial products do what they are supposed to do when the market moves, that is what derivatives do. Silly to argue which is better since it depends on how you trade to make money, not the product.
so I should buy snake oil courses from Nasdaq trader who never has losses /only posts profits . then I should make money on t2w forum , by drinking snake oil.
After having tried and lost using options years ago, I would only use options on an intraday basis and use puts to short a stock. I'm never going back to spreads again. One time I couldn't get out of a leg in a butterfly. And they decided to exercise it on me days later and it became a much greater loss. Also, there is a limited window to take profits. Close to expiration day depending on volatility, the pricing you may have thought you were going to get when closing a trade, projected days or weeks back, can disappear quick after the market open.
Options and trading in general are negative sum games due to commissions. Time/premium decay have nothing to do with that.
