My recent realization is that options can be played like a local dog, and the leverage isn't low either.

In the past, I mainly sold puts in Hong Kong stocks to receive premiums, but recently, in the Trump mouthpiece mode, there are quite a few opportunities with near-term options.
The experience shows that getting started with options is really quite challenging—there are many more data dimensions—but the upside is significant, and there are many ways to play. Still in the small-capital learning mode.
