Answer Upon - Your Mother Was Wrong About Stock Options
With everyone and their dog touting their expertise as internet marketing experts, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff?If you've not been burned by fake internet marketers, you don't have to, and you won't if you follow this simple advice.1) Type their name into the search bar. See how many pages talk about them.2) Install Google's toolbar and check the page rank of their main page. They may have new pages but they should have a page that should prove to you that they can help you.3) Type 'their name' +'forums' and read what people say about them. Weigh the overall leaning of the comments. There will be negative and positive. What you want is to feel the weighting across many forums.4) This is the best: Do they have proof of folks they have helped succeed with their methods/tools
PROFITING WITH PUT OPTIONS
Put options can also be used to profit from anticipated market declines. You can buy a put option in expectation of a stock falling in value. By buying a put option, you are only required to pay the cost of the option. There is no margin requirement. Your risk is limited to the amount you paid for the put.
Assume your stock dropped from $40 to $30, and you had paid $1.50 per share for a put option with a $40 strike price. Your maximum risk on the trade would be the $1.50 you paid for the put option. That put option would now be worth at least $10, since you have the right to sell a $30 stock for $40 per share. Your profit would be a minimum of $8.50, which represents a 560% profit.
Conversely, assume the stock gapped up at the market open to $45 per share. Your risk on the put option is limited to the $1.50 per share that you paid, while the short-stock trader has incurred a $5.00 per share loss.

We spend a lot of time being nice to our customers. Why not, it's how we have been taught to behave towards our customers. Treat them with respect, massage their egos and they will reward us with their business. So we carefully craft our newsletters, and adverts, emails and websites to keep them happy, and on our side.Then suddenly something comes along which turns this on its head. If you missed "The Rich Jerk" then you must have had your head in the sand, it was big news. This guy insulted his website visitors. He put them down, and told them he was better than them and had no time for them. Then they went and bought his product. And how. It sold in droves, but why did the people he insulted buy his book, and why did those same people keep telling the people they knew to go there?It was a masterpiece in marke
Exchange traded options came into being for the purpose of reducing investors' risk in owning or acquiring stock. Even mother owns shares of some venerable old companies. What mom may not realize is that even her portfolio of blue chip stocks is subject to market losses.
STOCK OWNERSHIP INVOLVES RISK
A stock investor is always at risk of losing significant amounts of capital. Diversification can help offset some of the risk, but even diversified mutual fund holdings are not immune from market declines, such as those seen in 2000-2002.
A traditional stock investor can only protect their holdings by divesting themselves of their investments. In other words, a stock investor must sell some or all of her stock portfolio to reduce market risk. Stop loss orders are sometimes used to exit positions that decline in value, but such orders cannot guarantee an exit point.
OPTIONS USED TO REDUCE MARKET RISK
Stock options are either "call" options or "put" options. A "call" option is a standardized contractual agreement that gives the buyer of the option the right to buy 100 shares of stock at a specified "strike" price on or before a specified "expiration" date. A "put" option gives the option buyer the right to sell 100 shares of stock at a specified price on or before a specified "expiration" date.
Options may also be sold short, in which case the seller of a call option has the obligation of delivering the shares of stock and the seller of a put option has the obligation of purchasing shares of stock. Because you are incurring an obligation when you sell an option contract, you potentially incur substantial risk.
An investor or trader in securities can use options to control stock, without actually taking ownership of the stock. Options can also be used to protect stock holdings from loss, speculate in the market, generate recurring income, and to enhance the overall return of stock holdings. All of these things are possible without exposing yourself to undue risk.
USING CALL OPTIONS INSTEAD OF BUYING STOCK
If you believe that a company's stock is poised to appreciate and it is currently trading at $30.00 per share, you can purchase 100 shares of the stock for $3,000.00. Your maximum risk on the trade is $3,000 and your upside potential is virtually unlimited.
Alternatively, you could purchase a call option for a fraction of what the underlying stock might cost. As the owner of a call option you would have the right to buy the underlying stock at a pre-defined "strike" price. Instead of paying $30 per share, you might only pay $2.00, perhaps less, for a call option that gives you the right to buy the stock at $30 per share.
Buying the call option for $2 per share allows you to control 100 shares of stock until the option expires. Assume that the stock behaves as expected and it appreciates to $40 per share. If you had bought the stock, you could now sell it and realize a $10 per share profit. This represents a gain of 33% on the capital invested, which is a very good return.
Our call option has also appreciated in value because we have the right to buy the stock at $30 per share even though it is now trading at $40 per share. We paid $2 for the call and it is now worth at least $10, representing a minimum profit of $8 or a return of 400%!
Stocks do not always behave as we expect, however. Let us assume that instead of rising in value the stock dropped in price and now trades at $25.00 per share. If we bought the stock, we would have seen our position drop in value by $5 per share. When we bought the call option, we limited our risk of loss to our purchase price so our maximum loss is $2 per share.
Call options are ideally suited for use when you expect a stock to make a significant move in the market. The use of a call option allows you to commit a relatively small amount of capital to control stock for a set period of time. If you are correct in your expectations of stock movement, you can capture the positive price movement without exposing your capital to the additional market risk involved in a stock purchase.
USING PUT OPTIONS TO PROTECT YOUR STOCK HOLDINGS
I own a house. Every year I purchase an insurance policy to protect against unexpected damage or total loss of the house. My expectation and hope is that I will never have need for the benefits afforded under the policy, but I pay the premiums nonetheless.
Just as you would insure your house by buying an insurance policy, you can buy a put option to insure your stock positions against unexpected loss. When you buy a put option, you have the right to sell your stock at a defined price for a defined period of time. If your stock holdings fall in value, a put option will permit you to sell those depressed holdings at the pre-defined strike price.
PROFITING WITH PUT OPTIONS
Put options can also be used to profit from anticipated market declines. You can buy a put option in expectation of a stock falling in value. By buying a put option, you are only required to pay the cost of the option. There is no margin requirement. Your risk is limited to the amount you paid for the put.

This is a story about a man and three dogs.I walk a lot - usually for about half to three-quarters of an hour most mornings. I see a guy with two dogs quite a lot. We chat a little occasionally.Of the two dogs (I know I said three, so hold on a bit), one is a light brown lurcher and is quite friendly and the other is a beautiful black labrador. He is 'nippy' as my co-walker tells me, so I have been a bit careful of him, but I always try to stroke him too. Whilst I have always been cautious of dogs, I have always tried my best to make friends with them, wherever I have gone (and no, I don't have a dog, and yes, I probably would like one!)My friend has now gained a third dog - another black labrador; a bit younger than the other two. So as I'm walking down the road this morning, I
