Are you guys saying that the only way a person can profit from knowing the future rise or drop of a stock is through options?

Come on people, there have to be other ways to profit from such knowledge.
With options, the most profit i calculate comes to about $1000. Not exactly the kind of return i am looking for here.

please help out...
Trademonkey,

How are you calculating this hypothetical profit? How are you so sure a stock price is going to drop?

What kind of return are you looking for? Unfortunately in the world of finance reward is proportionate to risk.

To reiterate what everyone else has said, options are your best course of action if you want leverage. Sorry if you were looking for some other answer.

Also, what stock is it? Perhaps someone could offer more advice if we had more details to look over.
