description: "There are many ways to play options. It is recommended for beginners to start by selling options. For example, if you want to buy a certain stock at a certain price, you can keep enough cash to sell puts. If you hold a certain stock and want to take partial profits at a certain price, you can sell calls. The worst outcomes of these two strategies are nothing more than buying the dip halfway down the mountain and selling too early, which are common occurrences. However, you can also earn some extra premium."
