Description

Why should YOU know more about options trading? Options are the "Swiss Army Knife" of the investing world and in my FREE introductory class I will not only share with you what are options and provide a simple explanation of how they work but will also share how they might be used to:

* Trade very SMALL accounts

* To provide insurance on your long term investment or retirement accounts

* To get monthly "dividend style income" from non-dividend stock with NO additional risk

* To trade 100 shares of stock like Apple for hundreds as opposed to tens of thousands of dollars

* To improve your stock entry and exit prices by a few $'s on each side of trade.
* To trade delta neutral as a method of generating monthly income.

* To set up a trade to cover almost any market condition and direction that a trader might envision.

I have traded stock and options for 30+ years as well as taught thousands in live classes and through options trading channels like SJGTrades, Aeromir, OptionStrat and others.
