Honestly, I don't really understand the calculations that much, but looking at the numbers and fees paid for the conversion from option to shares makes buying options look bad and directly selling the options doesn't look very appealing either. while surfing, I usually see option trading as a good means to make money and it being a safe way to benefit from companies, is that really true ?.

Being a bearer of bad news sucks, but nevertheless the truth is the truth, I think you should view from that angle, or just avoid talking about money.
