If I'm convinced that a security will go up...why would I buy it instead of buying stock options?
Stock options are much, much cheaper and will provide me with greater leverage.
Any reason not to do it?

Unlimited risk.
Margin expense.

unlimited risk is only if you're writing a call
i guess technically you could write a put at any price you wanted and thus have essentially unlimited risk that way too
if you're buying a call or a put, the worst that can happen is the option expires worthless

not true... options are not risky at all. You can only lose the amount you bet.

investing or speculating ?
investing ? no dividends if you take the options route
speculating ? go options,
