"Despite all the problems and oft-quoted risks in executing option
transactions, I believe that there are enough benefits available to
make option strategy a helpful tool for most investors."-from the
Preface
Originally published almost a decade ago, LeRoy Gross's
authoritative, yet highly accessible book has been the only
resource available for conservative investors looking to further
their investment goals with options. Now, with a new Introduction
by the bestselling author Larry McMillan, The Conservative
Investor's Guide to Trading Options has been updated to help market
practitioners of the present garner the same rewards reaped by
investors of the past.
Using the clear, balanced approach he used with his clients during
a long career in the securities industry, Gross explores the
various options strategies most frequently employed with individual
stocks, examines the risk factors associated with each, and offers
a unique perspective on how to use options as a hedging tool. From
buy stock/write call to sell stock/buy call, the strategies covered
are designed to help investors be better able to increase stock
income, reduce stock risk, and seek stock profits. In addition to
recommended systems, Gross also points out those that conservative
investors should avoid, including naked call writing, calendar
spread, and call option butterfly spread.
With clear, easy-to-understand explanations, here's where you'll
find complete details on:
* Reading and understanding option tables
* Entering option orders
* Negotiating commission discounts
* Understanding the language of options trading with a complete
glossary
Filled with practical examples andno-nonsense information, this is
essential reading for all those who want to expand their portfolios
using conservative option strategies.
A classic guide to safe and profitable options strategies for
conservative investors-now updated
"Derivatives have become an important tool for an ever-increasing
number of investors. The broad definition of 'derivatives' includes
options, futures, and many more exotic instruments that are
conjured up by the leading investment banks. For most
stock-oriented investors, though, the term predominantly refers to
stock options. The virtual explosion in trading of stock options
attests to their importance. Still, there are many who do not yet
understand what stock options are or how they can be of benefit to
an investor. This book is for those investors."-from the Foreword
