Book description
A revised new edition of the easy-to-read, illustrated guide to the
complex world of options investing
Investing in options is potentially very lucrative, but many shy away
from it because of its complexity and the perception of high risk. In
non-technical terms, this helpfully illustrated guide demystifies the
options markets, distinguishes the imagined risks from the real ones,
and arms investors with the facts they need to make informed,
profitable decisions.
Carefully weaving examples, charts, and key points into the text, the
book gives readers the skills to master the complex world of options,
and also covers all the fundamental jargon and concepts.
- Updated to include commentary on the current market and the
growing importance of options as an investment vehicle
- Another new addition to the successful "Getting Started
In" series by Michael C. Thomsett
- The perfect introductory guide to options for investors at any
level of experience
For anyone who wants to invest in options but needs a straightforward
and easy-to-read guide to the subject in order to do so, Getting
Started in Options is a must-read.
