Risks of options trading?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have a relative who is not risk averse whatsoever, in any aspect of their life. I long have been investing in index funds because it seems less risky to me. This relative on the other hand says "that's for boomers" (we're millenials).</p> <p>I am wondering, can someone explain the risks of options? Believe it or not, a cursory Google search was inconclusive, and as we all know, reddit's search function is garbage.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/dafishinsea"> /u/dafishinsea </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/tkhdaw/risks_of_options_trading/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/tkhdaw/risks_of_options_trading/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
