[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband wants to get in to options training. I am trying to educate myself on the risks vs. reward (yes I have already googled it). I’m interested if anyone has any feedback to share on how much time options takes in a given day/week. My husband already has a busy job (10 hr days)/ so I am wondering options if it is something people dabble in or does it require lots of hours (researching companies) to be successful. My bias is to just put more funds into our retirement accounts but he knows people that have made a lot in options….[/quote]

I've been trading options for over a decade now and almost full time last year.  You can make it as simple and as complex as you want it to be.

There are several basic books and most are decent.  Here's a free book you can read to give you an intro to Options - https://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780133087895/samplepages/0133087891.pdf.  The Options Industry Council has free education content as well - https://www.optionseducation.org/.

Once you have read this book (or others you may find) and/or familiarized yourself with the OIC content, I'd recommend Fullyinformed.com.  One of the best resources (used to be free but  charges $70 for the monthly membership now).  Read all the free content first and subscribe/pay if you want to continue with his approach.  This site primarily focuses on selling Puts (that gives the buy the right to sell the stock at a certain price and creates an obligation on the seller to buy that stock at that price) and has a great track record.

Like anything else, you need to treat it as a real business in order to make money, and more importantly, more money than just investing in an index.

Good luck!
