Book description
An easy-to-read and updated guide to the dynamic world of options investing
During the recent market turmoil, option trading volume actually
increased, but many are still unsure of the opportunities that options
present, simply because they don't fully understand how this market
works. With Getting Started in Options, Eighth Edition,
author Michael C. Thomsett looks to change this. In
non-technical, easy-to-follow terms, this accessible guide
thoroughly demystifies the options markets, distinguishes the
imagined risks from the real ones, and arms investors with the facts
they need to make more informed decisions.
- Opens with an introduction commenting on the recent market
turmoil and the growing importance of options
- Contains new chapters on futures and index options
- Includes sidebar definitions and easy-to-follow examples that
anyone can understand
Besides new examples, updated charts, and timely additions to reflect
important changes in the markets, this edition also includes
discussions on other important options issues, such as: how to
calculate options returns; "test run" activities to try out
new theories; and much more.
