A Cautionary Note on Risk:
🚨 Risk Warning: Beware of the internet's self-proclaimed gurus who promise outsized returns or manage your funds for you. Falling prey to such advice can lead to significant losses that could jeopardize your entire portfolio. Remember, I am a teacher committed to your education, not a financial manager.
Options trading can be as safe or risky as you make it. I'll guide you through strategies that use options to boost returns and reduce risks, not amplify them. While there's no guarantee of success, understanding how to use options can be a powerful tool in your investment arsenal.
