### Comment:
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.  You're good at stock picking so somehow the risk of options is less?  Risk = potential for loss.  And potential for loss on options is far greater than stocks.

### REPLY:
Risk=\= potential for loss. Risk= potential for loss + magnitude of loss.  A 99% chance of losing one dollar with a 1% chance of gaining 500 dollars is not high risk.  
  
 (This is assuming one has more than a dollar to their name which I understand may be unusual for this sub)
