> Investing in call options on AMD in 2014 or Tesla in 2019 also had huge asymmetric upside. It was clear that these stocks had massive risks, but while the upside wa potentially s huge, the downside was capped at -100%.

This is a terrible example. No one knew that the stocks would skyrocket. So at the time it was asymmetric on the downside because the cost of options were ridiculously expensive.
