Originally, options were introduced as instruments to hedge risk but now, that’s just a thing of the past. A lot of retailers are finding trading in options lucrative as in a single day, not only one but multiple options have the potential to give multifold returns. Additionally, the capital required for buying option is small when compared to buying a futures contract.

The 1720 Call option strike has jumped more than 650 per cent. This option had closed at Rs 1.60 as of May 25 and today, it made a high of Rs 18, and currently, it is trading around Rs 12.5. So, if anyone would have bought 1720 Call option of Colgate-Palmolive at the time of Monday’s closing, his total investment would have been Rs 560 (1.6*350) and Rs 4,375 as of today.
