Book description
AARP Digital Editions offer you practical tips, proven solutions, and
expert guidance.
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.
