Stock Options are much more high risk then purchasing regular stocks. While they have a very high risk, the payoff can be incredible.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Step 1

If you know what a stock is going to do over a short period of time, then stock options are probably your best bet. This way you don't have to pay such a large some of money to get a hefty return.
Step 2

If a stock doesn't do what you want, you can eventually sell it. Stock options are ownership for a limited amount of time. It is a contract saying that you can either buy a stock or sell it for a certain price.
Step 3

So if a stock makes a drastic move and you have purchased the right stock option (a call or a put), you can be expecting a large amount of cash.
Step 4

There are times where someone could invest a small amount a money and the next day be able to sell for over six figures!!!! But it is very hard to be able to tell what the market is going to do.
Step 5

Earnings like that will not happen all the time, so you must not get disappointed from your losses. Think of it this way, you try ten times. 9 out of the 10 you are wrong but 1 of the times you get it VERY right. That one right time could reimburse you for all your losses and turn a profit.
Step 6

So before you make a move, watch trends, guess, and see if you get some right before you invest money. Be very careful we the stock market. You can make money fast, but you can also lose it just as fast.
