  Private investors can use traded options to speculate on price movements in key shares, or to 'insure' their holdings against unexpected price movements. They are not just a speculative medium. They can also be used as part of a long-term investment strategy, or as a flexible tool for the management of risk and reward. Traded options are more volatile than ordinary shares. Those skilled and disciplined enough to enter the options arena are in a game where the risks are high, but the rewards for getting it right are highly lucrative. Not for the foolhardy and frivolous, you can lose money as easily as making it. Options are tricky beasts to handle, their behaviour very different to that of shares. Different rules need to be followed and a disciplined strategy adopted in order to tame them. Traded Options provides a framework for making money in this fast-growing area. It explains how traded options work and illustrates techniques and strategies that can be used, supported by clear worked examples.The book includes dedicated sections on: *choosing a broker *trading rules and objectives *writing options *index options *share price charts *using computer models for valuing options *options online *relevant web links. Written by best-selling author Peter Temple, Traded Options provides a comprehensive understanding of this most fast-moving and fascinating sector of the stock market, enabling you to beat the system and reap the reward.

  The returns that can be made from the stockmarket can be improved by investing in traded options - sometimes known as equity and index options - which is different from trading in shares, and subject to different rules. As the terminology and trading procedures of equity and index options can seem complicated, and there are risks involved, a disciplined approach is essential. Aiming to help private investors to add a new dimension to their stockmarket trading, this book offers a straightforward and methodical explanation of how traded options work and how to use them profitably. Each chapter begins with a table of key words and definitions to enable readers to familiarize themselves before starting the step-by-step approach on which the book is structured.
