Investing in options can be very lucrative, but many shy away from it because of the perception of complexity and high risk associated with this endeavor. In non-technical terms, Getting Started in Options, Illustrated Edition skillfully demystifies the options markets, distinguishes the imagined risks from real ones, and arms investors with the facts they need to make informed, profitable decisions.

Engaging and informative, Getting Started in Options, Illustrated Edition truly lives up to its name by bringing the key concepts of this topic to life through attractive illustrations, charts, and graphs. Along the way, it carefully weaves these visual components with definitions, examples, key points, and links to websites that will further expand your options knowledge base. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, this reliable resource:

  • Explores how to use options as a tool to expand control over your portfolio, protect positions, reduce market risk, and enhance your current income
  • Features illustrated comic strip panels at the conclusion of each chapter, which highlight major points and provide entertaining, but informative running narrative throughout the book
  • Covers the essential attributes of options—from striking price and expiration date to type of option and the underlying stock
  • Outlines effective options strategies involving buying and selling calls and puts
  • Discusses how to calculate options returns, “test run” activities to try out new theories, and much more.

Internet access and lower costs have combined to bring options to anyone and everyone who wants to use this effective investment vehicle. Let Getting Started in Options, Illustrated Edition show you how to make the most of them.
