For more stability, you could add January next year's, or buy the underlying stock. Let's talk about the risks of options: options can yield high profits, but if you're wrong, they also magnify losses. So, avoid using calls unless there's a major opportunity; one or two trades a month is plenty. Then, I suggest everyone set a position limit for options based on their risk appetite. For example, something like ten percent of the portfolio. Options inherently involve speculation. It's best to use profits to buy options, as that leads to a better mindset. $Amazon(AMZN.US) ### Related Stocks - [AMZN.US - Amazon](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZN.US.md) - [AMZU.US - Direxion Daily AMZN Bull 2X Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZU.US.md) --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
