CAN YOU REALLY MAKE A 10,000% GAIN WITH AS LITTLE AS YOU HAVE

A revolutionary new options system answers the question...


Can You Really Turn $10,000 Into $1.28 Million?

Ex-Stockbroker Reveals The Only Real Options System That Could Make It Happen!


I promise that you've never heard of this options strategy before. It's the same system used by billion-dollar hedge funds, Wall Street insiders, and institutional investors yet is all but unknown to most individual investors.

It has the power to take a small amount of money and quickly turn it into a multi-million dollar fortune. And it could do this...

Regardless of which way the market moves
Without having tons of money to start with
Without spending all day in front of a computer screen
Without having to wait a lifetime for the market to move
Without having to be a Wall Street “insider”

Now, for the first time, this innovative options strategy puts the tactics the professionals use in your hands.

You’ll finally have the power to potentially make yourself richer despite the problems with the stock market-- and regardless of whether stocks, bonds, or the economy are sinking or soaring.

Here’s how to “get on the inside”…and quickly build your very own $1.28 million fortune following one of the most successful options systems ever developed for individual investors. It could truly turn your account into an automatic money machine!

Read on for the full story...

Dear Investor,

I don’t know what investment strategy you’re following now…

But I’ll bet you wouldn’t mind making an extra $8,352 every month…

Or having an extra $10,831 show up in your account on a regular basis…

Or seeing a $3,000 investment become $16,651 in 3 weeks…

Investments like this can really add up – and put as much as $50,000 to $100,000 in your pocket each and every year.

Warren Buffett Has Always Used Options...Should You?

That’s right. When famed investor Warren Buffett needed to make some extra cash when he was just starting at Berkshire, he chose options as his investment of choice.

A Berkshire employee was quoted as saying, “it was almost frightening, how easy it was [for Buffett to make money with options].”

According to broker Art Rowsell, “Warren Buffett made $3 million dollars like bingo.”

And Warren didn’t stop using options after making billions with Berkshire Hathaway either. According to a recent SEC filing, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway just bought 3,923 call options on Burlington Northern!
In a moment, I’ll show you how to use a powerful strategy that could safely and easily turn a $10,000 investment account into a $1.28 million dollar nest egg for yourself and your family over the coming years.

Starting with as little as a few hundred dollars for each option and making just 2 trades a week, you could amass quite a fortune, even if the market doesn’t surge upward.

If you’re thinking this sounds way too good to be true… I don’t blame you. That’s why I’ll detail exactly how this strategy works in this letter, so you can decide for yourself if you want to give it a try.

But before you start growing your bankroll- and begin amassing your multi-million dollar fortune – there is one thing you need to know. It’s something some of the wealthiest investors and institutions have known for quite some time:

"There’s only one market capable of delivering proven and steady gains year after year regardless of what the markets are doing. It’s the market serious investors and legendary big money insiders have used to exploit the movement of the markets for decades."

In a moment you’ll know why…

But for now, there’s no other way to say it:

If options still aren’t part of your investment strategy, you’re missing out on one of the biggest moneymaking opportunities of the last 50 years.

Take a good look at the money being made in options today. Just last year, over 1.82 billion options trades took place. According to the Wall Street Journal, the value of all options contracts exceeds 450 TRILLION dollars worldwide. When that kind of volume is taking place, you know somebody is making money!

So if you’re tired of waiting for ordinary stocks and mutual funds to go up, this options strategy may be perfect for you.

And that’s why I’m writing you today, I want to tell you about how to get in…How much you can make…And how quickly you can make it…


Can You Really Make Money Regardless of Which Way The Market Goes?

The simple answer is yes. But not with your ordinary, “buy a stock or option and hope it goes up” strategy. You see, as an investment advisor to the ultra-wealthy, I had to develop investment strategies that you couldn’t read about in a book or hear about on TV. I needed hard-hitting investment strategies that made my clients tons of money- regardless of which way the market eventually went.

Clients simply would not pay me 2-3% of their account every year for ideas and strategies they could get from CNBC. They also would not pay me for long if I lost their money…

So I spent years researching and testing ways to make money regardless of what the market did. Over these ten years, I tried just about every investment strategy known to man.

While some of these investments were great and made my clients very wealthy, I found one strategy in particular that was unlike anything I had ever seen.

It’s a system that can make a lot of money regardless of which way the market goes, doesn’t require a lot of starting capital or time, and can be implemented by just about anyone, regardless of market knowledge.

It's also a strategy I now use in my own personal accounts...

And for good reason. Take a look at some of the gains I closed out in 2007 alone:
A whopping 737% profit on Monsanto – A $5,000 initial investment grows to an incredible $41,850 windfall


A 243% gain on August 24, 2007 – A $5,000 stake would have been worth $17,150 in just 13 weeks


A 336% gain on CYTC calls in just 33 days – A $5,000 investment would have grow to $21,800


A 521% gain on FLIR calls – A $2,000 investment would have ballooned to $12,420


Remember: All of these trades were part of a diversified option portfolio designed to reduce risk—these were not isolated “gambles".

Successes like these are quite common when you use this new option strategy. In fact, they seem to happen every month. All you need to know is how to take advantage of them.

I’ll explain how it works in a moment. But, before we move on, I want to clear something up.


Why Until Now, Only Professionals Used This Strategy

Until now, using options in this manner was pretty much the domain of those “in-the-know” and the super-wealthy. I’m talking about institutional investors, hedge fund managers, and private equity firms.

For one thing, you had to have access to proprietary trading software that analyzed millions of options trading on thousands of stocks.

Next, you had to have an army of analysts to figure out which stocks were going to move, when, and which direction.

Then, you had to put it all together using sophisticated computer modeling to develop the ultimate portfolio that could generate outsized returns regardless of which way the market was moving.

As you can probably imagine, this would be no small feat for the individual investor…

But now all this has changed. The proliferation of the internet, greater access to market information, lower account minimums and transaction costs have now made it feasible for these types of portfolios to be put together for much less than previously possible.

You no longer have to pay big bucks to get access to the information you need to possibly make an extra SIX-FIGURE income every year from your investments.

With this amazing option strategy…
You can start with as little as $100 per option: Instead of being required to put up huge minimums, you can access the power of the world’s largest markets for as little as $100 for each option!

Your risk is strictly limited: You will always know – to the dollar -the maximum risk you’re taking with each trade:

When you buy options, it is guaranteed that you can never lose more than the small premium you invest in each option.

You won’t have to spend all day in front of a computer: Just enter two simple trades every Monday morning. I’ll let you know which options to buy and when.
Make no mistake about it. The volatility in today’s markets is creating a moneymaking opportunity of epic proportions for those who know how the game is played. The professionals will continue to use this strategy to make unbelievable amounts of money regardless of what you or I do. It’s really a matter of getting your fair share of this multi-trillion dollar market.


Finally...An Opportunity For Individual Investors To Get Rich

While professional investors and insiders are gobbling up profits hand over fist, most everyday investors are missing out on the windfall – simply because they’re not aware of how the options markets work… how to trade them… or how to cash in on this tremendous opportunity.

That is all about to change. The revolutionary options strategy I’ve been discussing is called The Option Forecast. And, before I tell you about this amazing strategy, I want to discuss what The Option Forecast is not.

This is not your typical option advisory that recommends low-value, high-risk options that have little chance of turning a profit. This is not a service that has all of your eggs in one basket- praying that the market goes up.

This is not a service that does fine when the market is up- and then gets clobbered every time it goes down.

In short, The Option Forecast is an easy-to-use system that helps you potentially make money regardless of which way the market moves.

It comprises a portfolio of both put options and call options designed to work together to maximize your investment returns (don’t worry if you don’t know what a call or a put is, I’ll go over that in a moment).

This is truly one of the few strategies that gives ordinary investors the chance to make extraordinary profits in a very short amount of time.

To demonstrate the power of The Option Forecast, take the recent market turbulence and compare my results to those of your typical investment vehicle.

While the world markets were tanking and everyone was upset… many of my subscribers were counting how much money they had made on certain options.

For example, when the Dow dropped 8.2% from mid-July to mid-August, we were seeing winning trades such as:

181% on Foot Locker January 2009 $22.5 puts

89% on Oracle January 2009 $25 calls

128% on Banco Popular October 2009 $20 puts
Keep in mind that at all times, we have options on stocks we want to go up and those that we want to go down. So it really doesn’t matter which way the market goes. This is important because as long as you buy calls on good stocks and puts on bad stocks, you can make a lot of money in any market.

You’ve seen what happens when the market goes down and you’re invested in either a mutual fund or hot stock of the day. Compare that to the returns you can get when you have both sides of the market covered and you’ll laugh at the difference.

This is all great, but you’re probably wondering if it is really possible to consistently make money with this strategy.

The answer to that question is a resounding, “YES”.

Once you understand a few of the basics on how The Option Forecast works, including…how options work…which ones to buy…and a few other closely guarded secrets I’ll reveal in this letter…there’s really no limit to the amount of money you could potentially make…


Why Use Options?

Now that you know that the option market is one of the largest in the world and that options have been used by professionals for decades, you’re probably wondering “why?”

Why have options allowed some savvy investors to safely and easily treat their account as their own personal ATM- pulling out more and more money whenever they please?

I’m going to briefly go over a couple of reasons but the biggest and most important is—

The Unlimited Profit and Limited Loss Potential

You read that right. With options, your risk is limited to how much you invest upfront—but your potential gain is unlimited. And by unlimited, I mean truly unlimited. With this system, we’ve seen gains of 106%, 242%, even 555%. And you don’t have to wait years and years to get those types of returns.

It is this single characteristic of options that allows ordinary investors to generate tremendous returns on a regular basis. As great as that is, options also possess another feature that can turn a molehill of money into a mountain of cash.


Leverage

Now, when I talk about leverage, I’m not talking about margin accounts or borrowing any money. Options by their very nature allow you to control large amounts of stock with very little upfront capital. Remember, you can get started with as little as $100 in each one!

“The leverage in options and ease of trading have attracted growing numbers of investors”

-Barron’s April 23, 2007
You see, each option contract represents 100 shares of the underlying stock. So, if that stock moves in your favor (which they often do using this revolutionary system) your returns are amplified. Let me give you a recent example from our portfolio:

On April 20th, 2007 I recommended that my readers buy the CYTYC Corporation November $40 calls, for $115 or less.

All that means is each option, for $115 dollars, gives you the right to buy 100 shares of CYTYC for $40 a share anytime before November. Of course, we know we’ll sell it before then, but that’s what it means.

To make money on this trade, we needed CYTYC to start moving up. And that is exactly what it did. When I recommended this option, the stock was at $35.08. Just 4 weeks later, it was at $43.10. So the stock was up 22.8%, not too bad.

But the option we recommended was up 336%!

Now that is what you call leverage and why options are so profitable.
Let’s put this in actual dollar terms…

If you had bought 100 shares of CYTYC it would have cost you $3,508 and you would have made $802.

But, if you had bought just 20 contracts of the option I recommended, it would have cost you just $2,300 and you would have made $10,028!


Profits of $10,028 versus $802 Using The Exact Same Stock and Less Money Invested- Which Would You Rather Have?

The above example really illustrates the power of investing your money in securities that provide unlimited profit potential and give you leverage. It is these two qualities that really separate options trading from most other investment vehicles – and allow you to potentially make tons of money no matter which way the market is moving.

And although this may sound a bit new to you, you must know that…


If You Can Trade Stocks, You Can Trade Options

For reasons I’ll discuss in a minute, options have been branded as being too risky and confusing for the average investor. I’m here to shatter this myth once and for all.

I’ve been trading options since I was 16 and I have to tell you that options are one of the most profitable and easy to implement investments in the world. And I truly believe that anyone can use this strategy to make extra cash quickly and easily.

I’ve made a heck of a lot of money trading options for myself and my subscribers—and there is no reason why you can’t too.

Now, where do you think the idea that options are risky came from? You guessed it, from the professionals on Wall Street. The more ignorant they keep individual investors, the more money they make. The game has been played like that for decades on the Street (not just in the options markets either).

I’m here to tell you that buying individual stocks and mutual funds is more risky than a properly executed option strategy. With stocks, a lot more of your money is on the line than with options and it is a lot more difficult to go short when the market turns.

And as our previous example shows, you potentially take on more risk with stocks and get lower returns to boot (the S&P was up a paltry 3.5% last year)!


“Options can be used as a surrogate for buying stocks, which further reduces the risk of owning equities at a time when the market may snap lower.”

-Barron’s July 27, 2007
Another big myth is that most options expire worthless. While this may be true for some, you’ll see that with our profit-building strategies, you will have typically sold the option long before this occurs.

Our option strategy has a built-in sell discipline so you’ll know exactly when to sell in order to help maximize profits and minimize losses.

So don’t stay on the sidelines and miss out on the huge profit potential of options due to these myths.

Using The Option Forecast as a guide, you can use options in a much safer way than the majority of investors. And you can invest any amount you are comfortable with – from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands per option.

Now, I won’t give you a long explanation of options, because frankly, at this point, you don’t need one. (I am offering TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS that will tell you everything you need to know about options. You’ll get both of these gifts just for trying out The Option Forecast)

Right now, you just need to know that there are really only 3 important rules you must follow if you are going to make a lot of money trading options with this revolutionary strategy. I’m going to show you all 3 right now…


Rule #1: Make Sure You Have Both Sides of The Market Covered

This is one of the secrets of the super-rich. The key to potentially supercharging your returns and minimizing market risk is having both sides of the market covered. By this we mean having options on stocks that you want to go up—but also having options on stocks you want to go down.

You see in any market there is a simultaneous bull and bear market taking place. There is always a bull market for growing, profitable companies that investors want. And there is always a bear market for overvalued companies that are losing money, market share, and investor confidence.

If you cover both of these at the same time, you in effect have double the chance of scoring tremendous gains and making a great deal of money. And when you do have the occasional loss, the winners tend to “overpower” it.

While this may sound simple, you can’t just execute this strategy on any old stock. You must be sure to buy call options (meaning you want the stock to go up) only on outstanding stocks that are poised to do very well. On the other side, you want to buy put options (meaning you want the stock to go down) only on stocks that are in bad shape or overvalued.

By combining these two types of options in one account, you have the opportunity to make a great deal of money regardless of which way the market moves. Some of our greatest gains have come when the market was doing nothing!

Like between February 21, 2007 and November 9, 2007 as the Dow squeaked out a measly 2.1% gain, we had these trades on:
Monsanto January 2009 $90 calls +737%


Gilead Sciences January 2009 $52.5 calls +263%


Advanced Micro Devices January 2009 $12.5 puts +75%


EMC Corporation January 2009 $25 calls +211%


Medarex January 2009 $17.5 puts +147%


Cameron January 2009 $140 calls +107%


Why is this idea helpful to you as an investor?

Believe it or not, it gives you a huge, almost unfair advantage over other investors who just buy regular stocks and mutual funds. And remember, I’m not talking about complicated spreads or anything like that.

This strategy helps you develop a straightforward portfolio designed to put thousands of dollars into your pocket every month.

Which, by the way, brings me to the next rule…


Rule #2: Buy Only Undervalued Options

Just like any investment, the objective is to buy low and sell high. The best way to do that --regardless of whether you’re buying stocks, real estate or options—is to buy when they’re undervalued. That’s the key to successful investing and what can send your returns through the roof.

You see, options are just like any other security. Some are overpriced and some are underpriced. If you can identify which options are underpriced, you can make a great deal of money.

For instance, on September 24th of this year, I recommended that my subscribers buy call options on Cameron International.

I knew this was a great company—but I also knew that its options were severely undervalued. Long story short, the stock went up 11% and our call options went up 84.2%. Not too bad for less than a month’s work!

The point here is that your option portfolio should consist only of undervalued options. There is simply no good reason to overpay. This way, your gains are magnified and your occasional loss is limited.

When you have both sides of the market covered as discussed above and you only buy undervalued options—you’re chances of truly phenomenal returns are greatly enhanced. I know, because I see it every day.

As great as all this is, there is still one more rule that is crucial to option investing success…


Rule #3: Use The Same Portfolio Tactics The Pros Use

To make a lot of money with any investment program one of the most important components is proper portfolio management. Institutional investors know this, hedge fund managers know this, and Wall Street insiders know this. It’s time the average investor gets clued in to this amazing profit booster.

Proper portfolio management sounds complicated. Trust me, its not. You can avoid 99% of the mistakes most investors make by following just three basic principles that have been used by professionals like Warren Buffett for decades.

First, invest the close to the same amount of money into every position you take. When I send you our picks, don’t invest $500 into one and $4,000 into the other. Keep the investment amounts consistent.

On Wall Street, this is called ‘position sizing’ and it’s very important if you want to invest successfully.

Second, have a sell discipline in place at all times. By this I mean know when you’re going to get out before you even make the trade. You can eliminate a lot of psychological mistakes by doing this. The good news is, with my strategy, I give you guidelines on when to unload your positions for maximum profit.

Third, don’t succumb to fear and greed. Don’t stress out when things go down and get crazy when things go up. You must have some mechanism in place to deal with the ups and downs of the market. If you do, you’ll be richer (and happier) than you’ve ever imagined!

Applying these rules is important –crucial really – yet it amazes me how so few investors actually pay attention to them when investing their hard-earned money.

When you are able to put it all together the results are astounding…


Putting It All Together: The Potential To Amass $1.28 Million In Profits Using The Option Forecast

Let’s go over how this strategy could be the quickest path to a SEVEN-FIGURE portfolio.

You can get started for a small amount – and as the profits roll in, you increase your position size little by little.

When you have an opportunity to generate better than 71.6% cumulative gains each and every year, it’s not long before one day you wake up and realize your trading account has swollen to seven figures.

Let me show you exactly how this can work:

We'll say you start by investing $10,000 using this strategy for the first year. Based on the projected 71.6% annualized gains The Option Forecast appears capable of producing, that would produce over $7,160 in gains the first year.

Then, in the second year, invest your profits in the same manner. And remember, your account will develop into a balanced portfolio spread out over a number of different options.

So your wealth accumulation could start to look something like this:

Year Account Size Gain for the Year Accumulated Gains
1 $10,000 $7,160 $7,160
2 $17,160 $12,286 $19,446
3 $29,446 $21,083 $40,529
4 $50,529 $36,178 $76,707
5 $86,707 $62,082 $138,789
6 $148,789 $106,532 $245,321
7 $255,321 $182,809 $428,130
8 $438,130 $313,701 $741,831
9 $751,831 $538,310 $1,280,141
10 $1,290,141

It’s not hard to imagine a comfortable (and early) retirement based on this! And just think what your account could look like if you start with more than $10,000.

Plus, you’ll see another benefit along the way.

You’ll become highly knowledgeable and capable at trading one of the largest and most lucrative markets in the world. Not to mention you’ll know more about options than 95% of all the stockbrokers, financial planners, and portfolio advisors out there.

I’m also sure that, once you experience the potential moneymaking power of The Option Forecast, it’ll change the way you invest forever.

You can hang onto your stock and mutual fund accounts if you like- but options are, and always will be where the big money is made.

And not only will you become one of the very few on your block who knows precisely how and why so much money is made there – you could be generating profits the same way the pros do.

For all the reasons I’ve covered so far, subscribing to The Option Forecast immediately should be a very easy decision.

And although this is a serious, professional trading research service, you should know that it is also extremely easy and simple to use...


Trading Instructions So Simple, A Sixth Grader Could Use Them

With all of trades I recommend, you get complete, easy-to-follow, plain-English instructions. I tell you precisely which options to buy and when you should buy it…give you the strike price and expiration date… and a range of how much you should pay.

Plus, I even tell you the steps to make these trades online or exactly what to say word-for-word to your broker on the telephone.

And don’t forget, well give you some tested guidelines for a sell strategy, so you’ll know exactly when to unload your positions.

Put simply,

If you can access a computer or dial a telephone, you can harness the enormous profit potential of this revolutionary strategy to trade options profitably!
Don’t waste any time wondering what options to buy…I’ll find them for you. Then you decide how much to put into each one (if anything). And together, we’ll try to get your account moving towards a million dollars!

3 CRITICAL DAY TRADING MISTAKES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM.Reggie Dunn

Ah, the day trading profession - it's the perfect job, right? You can work when and where you want. You have freedom and independence. You answer to no one but yourself. All this sounds great and there is no doubt that day trading can be a very lucrative and rewarding career, but let's take a look at the cold hard facts. Nearly 80% of those who attempt day trading will fail. Trading accounts are lost every single day because of trading too much, taking illogical risks or just plain ignorance.
Don't get me wrong, you can make substantial profits at day trading. There are many successful day traders out there that are making a nice living year after year. In order to have the greatest chance of success, there are several mistakes that must be avoided:
1. Trading With Emotion
The single biggest mistake made by day traders is trading with emotion. If you trade with emotion you will lose money - It's as simple as that. Greed and fear rule the stock markets and these two emotions are precisely what will put you in the hole. Too many decisions when trading are based on emotions, rather than logic. The key here to overcome emotions is that you must have a system in place that picks trades mechanically - this will take greed and fear out of the equation.
2. Trading Without Proper Research
Day trading is a serious business and it needs to be treated that way. Many traders make the mistake of half-hazardly buying stocks without taking the time to complete the proper research. Day trading is for real and the stock market has no mercy for the unprepared. To be a successful trader you simply must have a carefully planned out system in place for how you go about researching your potential stock picks.
3. Trading With Money You Can't Afford To Lose
Successful day traders never trade with money that will destroy their lifestyle or family if lost. It then becomes a domino effect and fear will take over trading decisions. The worst possible trading choices will be made and bank accounts will be depleted.
So in summing it up, day trading is a great way to make a living and a very lucrative one if you have a system in place and can avoid the mistakes that were discussed above. Just remember to avoid emotion, make sure you have done your research and never trade with money that you cannot afford to lose.

Can This Be The Stock Market's Ides Of March?b.cohen

On March 7th, 2008 the Dow reached a double bottom at 11870. While it went through the low for a while, it was able to bounce back up and close at 11893.
Might this be the Eides of March? Could the Dow finally begin to turn back up?
At 8:15am the Feds announced that they were adding $100 billion liquidity to the Market. They did this 15 minutes before the 8:30am scheduled Unemployment news report was released. Why did they choose such a strange time to release this information? Because they knew that the Market would tank at 8:30 when it was released that there were minus 63,000 job created and that January's job creation was revised from -17,000 to -43,000.
What did Bush have to say about this down turn in jobs? "we're in a slowdown..." No shit Sherlock!
Not since the great depression have the number of foreclosures risen so fast. 8 million homes are now worth less than their mortgage. 23% of all mortgages are in delinquency. The US Dollar has reached an all-time low against the Euro. Gold has reached an all-time high and is within a stone's throw of $1,000. A gallon of gas is approaching $4.00. And all Bush can say is that "we're in a slowdown?"
What kind of investment is safe now for anyone. One reporter said that a good stock opportunity was healthcare because that has only gone down 10% not 20% like the rest of the Market. So everyone is in a panich to sell. The answer is "Stop. Don't panic!"
The Stock Market is down approximately 10% this year and about 15% from the October high of 2007. Everyone is in panic mode, must sell must sell. And financial headlines such as "sense of crisis haunts trading floors", or "recession fears rise after US Employment falls..." are adding fuel to the panic's fire.
So what should you as an investor do?
Bottom line...get more investment education. Investors tend to be willing to take the advice of their brokers when the Market goes up. But what happens when the Market turns down and gets ugly? Then brokers can do no right. That is because investors live and breathe on every word the broker says, instead of getting their own investment education. In times like these, you need a great defense, and that comes from education.
Where can you get the kind of investment education you need to stand on your own two feet? Shadowtraders offers trading education. Shadowtraders specializes in trading the E-mini S&P 500 Futures Market, the only Market still unaffected by the Stock Market down turn. Why? Because Shadowtraders teaches its clients how to trade in different Market conditions, how to capitalize instead of panic.

Understanding Option Trading, Simply


Option trading is one method of trading that you can partake in. But, in order to take advantage of it, you need to find out just what it is and how it works. This will help you to make decisions that will affect you throughout your trading experience. Here is some basic information about option trading to help you.
What Is An Option?
Your basic question of what an option is can be answered like this. It is a contract that allows two parties to come to an agreement that the buyer will have the right to buy or sell a parcel of the shares. It is set at a predetermined price and at a predetermined date. The buyer does not have to take the option though. He has the right but not the obligation to do so. To get this right, the buyer will provide a premium to the seller.
Call Options
There are two types of option trading that you need to know about. In a call option, the buyer has the right to buy underlying shares of a stock. It is set at a predetermined price and also a predetermined date. Again, the buyer has the right but not the obligation to do this.
Put Option
The second type of option is the put option in option trading. In this type of option, the taker has the same fundamentals but is selling underlying shares. He has the same set up of having the right to do so but not the obligation to do it. Also, the same standards of the predetermined price and date also apply. The buyer of a put option is required to deliver the underlying shares only if they exercise the option.
If you would like to learn more about option trading, you simply need to contact your financial advisor and find out how it can serve your needs.
