Basic Seminar

This new basic seminar for 2008 focuses on options fundamentals for the novice options investor. Taught in a classroom setting, an options professional will cover essential concepts and terms of options contracts as well as their risk/reward characteristics. Learn about buying and selling calls and puts, how to profit from an expected up or down movement in a stock’s price with limited risk, and how to generate income from a stock you already own that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Get straightforward answers to your options questions. A basic knowledge of stocks, and some experience with stock investing, would be to your benefit when you take your seat.
