Remember I said, the option gives you the right to bet your judgment is correct.
If you're right, you make money. If you're wrong, you lose.
Today, I will lose on my BIDU calls.
DOWN $76 in Pre-market.

No, it isn't.
First of all, the BIDU options were expensive.
I bought a very high SP to keep my premium down.
I posted last week, I felt it was unlikely BIDU would make a huge move to the upside like AMZN.
But it did make a huge move to the DOWNSIDE, didn't it?
LOL!
Anyway, the great thing about options is, ... you know up front how much you could lose ... the premium.
It was a "crap shoot".

Afterthought ....
Had I done what I did with AAPL 2 weeks ago ... bought calls AND puts ... I would've made a bundle!$$$$$
The low on the $350 PUTS was $1.75 on Friday. They're $9.70 now.
I still have my AAPL puts.
I wish AAPL would drop $50.
LOL!
