An Introduction to Options Trading

For the long-term investor, options are powerful financial instruments that can help you protect your existing investments and earn additional income from the securities you hold. From a shorter-term opportunistic trading perspective, they give you leverage with a clearly defined risk profile; and the ability to trade not just price moves and volatility but also to position yourself for specific events and opportunities within an expressed period of time.

This introduction to options will take you through the basics and give you the building blocks you need to more fully explore the power of options.
