Education

Introduction to Investing

This is the one-stop-shop for your options education. In these pages you will learn all of the following:

• Basic terminology
• How stocks are traded
• What value having options provides to the market
• How options are priced
• What various options trading strategies are common, and how they work

You’ll learn much more than that. The material is presented in a manner that anyone with an high-school education can understand. The concepts necessary to trade confidently are layered in, starting from the most simple to the more advanced, so that even a complete novice–someone who has never even looked up a stock price before–can start trading with a complete understanding of what the potential risks are, what the potential rewards are, and how to have realistic expectations about earning profit and suffering losses.

I approach this little “university” from the standpoint that you, the reader, are a complete novice. If you aren’t, feel free to dig around and find the more advanced material.
