so if i want to buy a single contract at the asking price of lets say $4.00

do i pay a total of $4.00 or a total of $400 ?


Another question,

if i feel confident a stock is going to go up in value ... for short term profits am i better off on the stock or the options?

from the little bit that i can peice together it looks like the options is a more rewarding buy for the short term, assuming it goes in your favor.

thanks for any help.

you pay 400


Depends on many things, the aim price, the expected time to reach that price, volatility etc etc.
