Sorry will try again with my quoting...

OR, I could buy today at 10c the shares, which is the same thing................

Nothing like the same thing.

For a start, you can buy 100 times more options at .001 then heads at .10

Exercise cost plus option cost would mean you have paid .101 for your shares. But you can load up with the security that you haven't speant as much on the options as you would have heads.

E.g. you have $5,000 to spend. Get 50,000 heads or 5,000,000 options (if you can get .001, halve that if you pay .002). You then sit on the 5m for a week and if they are 'in the money' you have bought a very large parcel with less on the table.

Of course this a) requires you to have the money to exercise and b) limits the amount of time you have for the heads to reach a point where it has been worth your while.

Risk v reward. Can get much more exposure through the options, but there is that chance of the purchase being a 100% loss.
