So financial instrument have some merits and demerits, so future and options have some merits and demerits.

So let’s understand what are the author says, about that (One Up On Wall Street: Chapter 19)

Remember some point on this stuff:

The worst thing in options is that , you were right but you still lost all your money because they event happened after options date expire.
Author say, it’s a wastage of talent, time and money
Peter Lynch says, doing shorts selling is have the unlimited risk, because you buy the share when they fall, but if share goes up, so there is no limit of going up, so there is the unlimited risk. (One Up On Wall Street: Chapter 19)
Future may be beneficial, let’s understand, if A former want to sell wheat or rice crop in future at fixed price, so there is beneficial, or any distributor want to buy that wheat and rice, so they can buy on fixed price.
So peter lynch says, options is the worst things, just imagine of GlaxoSmithKline Company, company have the patent of rare cancer and you know that come in news stock prices goes higher and you buy the options. So option is things that expire at time period. So you have to buy regularly, that options after expire there dates. So if you are right then but that options is expire and news come, and stock price is goes up but you lose the premium because that yours buy in options.
So author says, this is the wastage of time, Money and effort of all things when come in the Options.
So author says, Stock is atleast finance the company, that have it’s some business. So whatever you do in that company as speculation or anythings, so they have the some business. So you are buying the stock is doing of finance the company, but if you are come in OPTIONS there is nathing finance to the company or anythings, but they finance the broker and their house and there EMI.

Shorts selling:

In Short selling the down side is high or unlimited and there is no limit of lose, because they is no also no limit of stock is go up at any price and you get unlimited lose.

Author give the example of Robert Nilsson, they make the shorts in international company, that stock is 70 cents and they increase upto 70 dollar, so he get 100 bagger lose, and they lose the 20-30 millions dollar in short selling.
