Two people. Same stock. Same direction.


One buys monthly call options.
One buys 2 year call options.
Monthly: Right direction. Wrong week. Expires worthless. Buys again. Same result.
2 year: Right direction. Off on timing. EPS keeps growing into the contract. Market prices it in. Wins.
Same stock. Completely different outcome.
This is why I never touch monthly options.
When you go 2 years out.
The market is looking past your expiration date.
It is pricing in EPS growth beyond the contract.
Your option benefits from that.
You just have to be right on direction.
Timing is forgiven.
Monthly options punish timing.
2 year options forgive it.
That is the difference.
