Real Options Education

Welcome to Real Options Education!

This site is your first and only stop to learn how trading options on the stock market really works, at least for retail traders (don’t worry if you don’t know what that means–you can find out on this very site!).

I’m Justin, and I trade options to supplement my income from my business operations and income from my other semi-passive investments, like real estate.

About Me

I have a Masters degree in Physics, and I was on track to get my PhD before I had to drop out for personal, family related reasons. I leveraged my mathematical and programming skills to enter the software engineering industry in 2007. In 2021, I was working as a regular employee for a company that went public. As a result, I made several million dollars from the stock options I had been granted. I leveraged that windfall to acquire real estate and two businesses.

I’ve also studied financial engineering and quantitative analysis on my own, and have traded on the stock market off-and-on for over a decade. I will share with you what I’ve learned about trading on the market, in the hope that you become a more sophisticated trader who is aware of the risks and, more importantly, the extremely high number of charlatans out there who will try to sell you every course, strategy, and other snake-oil you can think of to take advantage of YOUR desire to learn and profit as well.
