commissions are much thinner on options than buying bullion however….a much bigger consideration/cost (if you’re buying options vs selling) is probably time decay.

as you point out, there are some strategies for reducing (or attempting to reduce) the “costs” of trading options.

i’ll prob try to cover a couple of them, but i don’t want to completely lose my other two readers so i’ll try to keep it relatively simple! :)
