I don't have time to explain why options are a more cost-effective way for you to invest in price increases in commodities than resource stocks, except to say that most resource producers are hedged against commodity risk, and if you are getting your options trading advice from a feral cat on the internet, you probably have no business monkeying with options.

Keep in mind that the Nulands, the Grahams, the Blinkens etc. of this world do not live lives of opulence. Far from it.
