GETTING STARTED IN OPTIONS

Thomsett provides a technical lesson on a risky but interesting investment vehicle. Buying a stock option gives you the right to buy or sell an equity at a particular price on a future date. Options can be traded prior to that date, and their perceived value is based on where the stock price looks like it’s headed. The amount of detail in this program is mind-boggling, though it’s laid out in an orderly way. The intensity of this subject matter means that only the serious student will be able to stay involved. Nelson Runger paces the material exceptionally well and communicates a perfect balance of dispassion and enthusiasm. A deftly abridged and valuable audio lesson.
