Description of Traded Options

This book is about making money by improving the returns you can achieve from the stockmarket. It involves traded options - sometimes known as equity and index options - and is different from trading in shares.

There are different rules and it is essential that a disciplined approach is taken. And although the subject-matter is detailed, it can be mastered. This will allow you to add a new dimension to your stockmarket trading.

We must emphasise that there may be risks involved but also real rewards. To help you understand how traded options work and how to use them profitably, Peter Temple, an experienced financial journalist, has written this clear and methodical explanation of the subject.
