I think I get it. It's less risky than shares but you pay a premium. Basically I could have saved a lot of money if I had bought call options for Twitter the day before earnings instead of buying the shares themselves. Am I correct ? I would have bought call options for say... $35. Anticipating it would go up at least a dollar and then some to cover the premium I'm paying. 
  
 Am I correct here? Please let me know

correct. 
 but as i said, shares are less risky than options in that they dont expire like options
