You should learn whether you’re an investor or a gambler before the market teaches you the difference. Just look at options trading, which has been surging. Let’s say you’re optimistic about a stock and it rises above the strike price of your call before expiration. On the other hand, if you expect a stock to fall, and it drops below the strike price before expiration, you can sell your put. Trading options involves lots of skill if you know what you’re doing—and nothing but luck if you don’t.
