Please talk me out of options trading
I am a newish investor, I am curretly following the boglehead method of investing. I've read many times about how options trading isn't a good idea; unfortunately the little that I learned about buying calls you can actually cap your loss with a much higher upside. This seems nice, additionally went over to wall streets bets subreddit (stupid I know) and read some of the things they might be doing now that spacex is going to be launching their ipo. Overall I am intrigued about options trading and am considering starting with small amounts. <$1000.
Basically I know getting involved in options trading is a bad idea but my interest has been sparked and I need ya'll to talk me out of proceeding before I get involved now, and even in the future if I become debt free.
Please use solid arguments and examples as well instead of just catch phrases.
