What you write can be true, and yet you can still go bankrupt trying to trade it.




BTW, for the record, my options are now worth over 1500% more. I've sold 4x my original investment. Probably not going bankrupt, but I'm going to go car shopping with 2% of what I just made. Maybe I'm acting irrationally, but then again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_theory_of_truth


I can't go bankrupt by buying option contracts.
