With options, you can replicate the behavior of a stock using much less capital.
Itβs called a synthetic stock: you buy an ATM call and sell an ATM put at the same strike price.
π Real example with TLT (20+ year Treasury Bonds):
TLT shares trading at $88; Cost of 100 shares by direct purchase $8,800 while Synthetic: $34
Same exposure, 259 times more efficient!
