You absolutely should. It's necessary information to truly understand the market. I do not consider anyone now a good investor if they don't understand options, even Warren Buffet uses cash secured puts to take his positions.
With that said, I do not recommend buying options. You want to be the person gambling or do you want to be the casino hosting the games? Equivalent to buying and selling options.
Whatever stock you're buying, if it's something you want to own long term and you're not running the wheel you're doing yourself a disservice. Better entries, better exits, and risk negated.
This isn't financial advice, from my personal anecdote only two strategies worth a damn are buy and hold & running the wheel which is essentially same thing if underlying is worth owning.
