It's not hard to understand why options trading continues to grow
in popularity, especially among sophisticated investors with large
stock portfolios. Options are a cheaper and therefore, inherently
less risky way of speculating on the price movements of stocks or
other under-lying goods, yet, due to their volatility, they provide
more price action per dollar than do stocks. And, when traded in
conjunction with stock portfolios, options can significantly
enhance an investor's ability to manipulate the risk and return
characteristics of their entire investment. Yet, despite these and
other advantages of options, many investors shy away from this
highly lucrative type of speculation because of the seeming
impenetrability of many of its underlying concepts and technical
principles.
Now in a book that demystifies options for financial professionals,
Professor Robert W. Kolb, one of the nation's leading authorities
on the subject, provides readers with a solid grounding in the
principles and practices of options trading. An excellent resource
for investors who need to quickly get up to speed in options,
