Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain requirements must be met to trade options through Schwab. Please read the Options Disclosure Document titled "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" before considering any option transaction.  

Investing involves risks, including loss of principal. Hedging and protective strategies generally involve additional costs and do not assure a profit or guarantee against loss.  With long options, investors may lose 100% of funds invested.  Spread trading must be done in a margin account.   Multiple leg options strategies will involve multiple transaction costs.  Covered calls limit the upside potential of the underlying stock, as the stock would likely be called away in the event of substantial price increase.  Downside protection is limited to the premium received.
