Long call options have negative carry because even if the stock stays flat or rises slightly, the option loses money due to time decay, and the buyer must beat the capital outlay through sufficient stock price appreciation.

“there's a negative carry in other words even if the stock stays the same or even goes down goes up just a little you are still in a position of losing money with a call option your a call option payoff is that you have to beat the capital you out late for the call option on the up side of the market”
