Choose Which Risks You Want To Take
And Which To Avoid

In a world of ever increasing risk and uncertainty, investors are turning to options for safety. Options give buyers the right to buy or sell shares of stock and this simple arrangement creates an entirely new world of investing - one with defined risks. With options, investors can choose which risks they want to take and which to avoid. They can define maximum profits and losses, gain leverage, and increase diversification.

In order to use options successfully through, investors must understand what separates them from stock. Options 101: From Theory to Application steps you through all the necessities for a firm foundation into the exciting world of options. You are introduced to options at the most basic level and gradually moved through pricing principles, profit and loss diagrams, market mechanics, volatility, and basic strategies that you must understand to trade options like a professional. You'll even discover how Gordon Gekko from the hit movie Wall Street could have greatly enhanced his stealthy trades after reading the chapter on put-call parity.

Options University teaches you how to make your world less risky by introducing you to ours - the world of managed risks through options.
