Requirements

Basic knowledge of Stocks or Options or ETFs
Although we use Options for examples, the course CAN BE APPLIED to "Stock Traders and Investors"

Description

Index trading and ETF trading offer less volatility, instant diversification and involves taking a macro approach rather than a micro approach. This makes it ideal for working professionals. The impact of earnings reports, company specific bad news like oil spills etc. can have severe impact on stocks. ETFs offer a world of choice for investors today, and there is an ETF for every possible investment interest. Broad market indices and their ETFs or even sector based ETFs offer tremendous liquidity and reduced volatility. Using a broad market index like the SPY ETF, you can hedge an entire portfolio of stocks from catastrophic losses with just 1 trade.

Although this course uses Options, the course is well suited for Stock traders. You can apply the concepts to ETFs because ETFs trade just like a Stock.

Who this course is for:

Anyone interested in Longer term trades of 3 to 12 months
Any Busy professional who does not have time to monitor Markets closely
Any investor or Trader looking for well diversified asset classes
