Who told you that cute little big fat lie? :D

The whole options business is rigged in favor of options sellers (also known as writers) , not options buyers. The Black–Scholes model has been designed to screw as many options buyers as possible, slowly but surely.

To original poster, there is no such thing as a fixed income in trading. If you want fixed income start your own business (rent houses for example), or park your money in a savings account.

Leverage -in my point of view- is crucial, any startup has leverage in some way and we as traders are not be exempt from this, specially if the trading capital is small - like mine.
In my own experience, my first year of trading my approach was very conservative and with ZERO usage of leverage on margin, once I started to use that and using more aggresive trades my results were improved substantially (from 5% to 10% the following year), this only reinforces that the greatest successes have been achieved thru assuming great risk -in general-

I also think that there are superstars in every profession, whether in music, sports, finance, etc. This does not mean that only superstars can make a good life of their profession. I love trading and I love to be an individual trader, the stress and the risks that are inherent to our profession are by FAR compensated with various "intangible" benefits, some are:
1. Not to deal with employees.
2. Not to deal with suppliers
3. Not to deal with warehouses, inventories, transportation, etc
4. Can work from anywhere.
5. Be your own boss, etc, etc, etc.
In one word FREEDOM!
Cheers :)
