Yes, that's exactly why I prefer options...
Buy 350,000 shares for $56k and if OEX aren't successful share price goes back down to say 3c... 350,000x0.03= $10,500 (loss of $45,500)
Buy 350,000 options for $11,000, loss of $11,000 if not successful... If OEX are successful then there is more leverage with options...
Go figure...
