Webinar: Buying Options - Key Considerations for Investors

Options open up a different way of engaging with the market — but only if you understand what you're working with. 

Buying an option seems straightforward. Understanding what you paid for, why it moves the way it does and when investors might take action takes a closer look. This session covers the core mechanics behind option pricing and the key variables that influence a bought position from entry to exit. During this session, OIC instructor Mark Benzaquen will cover an outline that includes: 

• How option premiums are priced and what components make up their value 
• The role of implied volatility and time decay, and how each can shift the value of a position over time 
• Strike price and expiration selection: how different combinations affect the risk profile of a trade 
• Calculating break-even: what a position needs to achieve to be profitable at expiration 
• Planning an exit: the different ways a bought option position can be closed or managed before or at expiration
