There Are No Solutions

There are no solutions in trading—only trade-offs. In this episode of Thinking In Options, Bill Johnson explains why options aren't simply a cheaper substitute for stock. Every option comes with conditions involving time, strike price, volatility, dividends, and changing exposure—and those restrictions fundamentally affect its value. Bill also examines the popular strategy of rolling a call to a higher strike for a credit. That credit isn't free money, and the adjustment doesn't eliminate risk. It exchanges participation and probability for flexibility and reduced capital exposure. The key isn't asking whether a trade "solves" a problem, but understanding which version of risk you're choosing to own.
