Stock Options

[Yankees338]

Does anybody here have experience with puts and calls? I'm interested in at least learning about them, and possibly investing in them shortly. What are the pros and cons of them as opposed to say, common/preffered stocks? How do they work and are they easily traded? Thanks.

P.S. Any information regarding the topic of stock options is more than welcomed here. I'm just trying to get this started with some questions.
