Re: Who \"gambles\" in the options market?
[ QUOTE ]
In my opinion, the options market is like a big poker table with a high rake and some of the players are world class. 90% of players lose money. Be honest with yourself; are you really world class and do you have superior information to the market enough to beat transaction costs and make a profit? Usually the answer is no. Happy investing.

This is probably the best advice one can get on the subject.
"Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives" by John Hull is worth reading if one's serious about derivatives. Great book.
