Almost everyone who buys calls gets smoked


Here's how I buy them & actually come out ahead
The killer is theta. Buy a short dated call & the clock drains it every single day the stock doesn't rip
So I refuse to play that game
When I buy a call, it's 1 year out, bare minimum
That long runway means theta barely touches it day to day, & there's time for EPS to grow (share price follows that)
& I only buy them on great companies at good prices
I'm not buying a Friday lottery ticket like most ppl
