If you think you can time the market or pick stocks all you need is a couple thousand dollars and if you're right you'll get a great return. Unfortunately, like a lot of things the best way to learn is to buy a couple. Then the strike price, expiration. volatilty etc. will all become crystal clear. It's how I got started and I recommend it. Just be prepared to lose everything you come in with. It's the tuition you pay. Options are a good way to get started investing.
