If you remember the pandemic — and maybe you don’t want to — then you’ll remember Gamestop and AMC. Ten-fold, all the way up to fifty-fold growth, in short spurts of time. It was a cacophony of retail traders fighting Wall Street — all the while Reddit users keeping their pitchforks high and telling you to double down on stock or to buy options.

But, are buying options the way of intelligence in markets?

If you’re truly trying to learn the options market, then becoming more intelligent in that space often collides in parallel with the line that provides you the best — and safest — returns.

What is it that you want to do in the markets? You’d like to buy low and sell high.

However, your one caveat here is that this can take several years. So, if you bought stock today, how would you know you’ve purchased it at the optimal value?

Put differently, how could you fix the price of the stock if you were going to buy it today to make the price more optimal than originally?
