Many traders only think of options as speculating with calls and puts for quick profit.

While puts and calls can return fast triple digit profits, it is not always the best way and certainly not the only way to trade options profitably.

Many option experts say option buying is the sucker’s game and most professionals are option writers. This is partially true. We love to write options, but option buyers have one secret advantage.

That advantage is surprise volatility. You see, when you buy options, you are betting on one thing -- volatility, movement of the underlying stock. If the stock does not move, you lose!

Volatility is usually pretty predictable and moves in accordance with a log normal bell curve. In fact, the Black and Scholes Pricing Model for measuring the fair value of an option, which won a Nobel Prize, is based on this curve.
