Over nearly two decades of financial journalism, I've heard something similar to the following statement literally hundreds of times: "Only experienced professionals should trade options. It's a sucker's game for individual investors."
Are you kidding me? Trading options is for suckers all right: really rich ones!
You see, when it comes to options trading, there are a whole bunch of myths out there that need to be "busted." And just like the cable TV show "MythBusters," which takes a group of experts who use basic elements of the scientific method to test the validity of a variety of myths, I decided to get a group of options experts together to bust the myths associated with options trading.
