Call Options: The Basics

Posted by Preet on Nov 21, 2007 | 2 comments

A very highly respected Canadian financial blog, The Million Dollar Journey (which I read every day), had asked me to guest-author a series of articles on Call Options. FrugalTrader (the person who runs that site), has posted all three parts in the series on his website. I highly recommend checking out the articles and you can do so by clicking on the links below. The content was written such that new investors would be comfortable with the material, while slowly progressing to a level that would appeal to experienced "do-it-yourselfers" as well.

Thank you for the kind words! :) I've said it before, but will say it again - the feedback give me motivation to keep on writing.

Thanks FinanceAndFat

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your series.

It has been years since I invested as much money in the market as I would like and I only tried options trading once (wrote a covered call), but I really hope to get back to it soon. Your breakdown was a great refresher and you made it simple to understand.
