Options
If you're looking to realize your investment goals, broaden your trading opportunities and gain greater control over the performance of their portfolio, consider options.
- Here's why:
- Some investors use options like insurance. For a period of time, they can secure the value of their current holdings by purchasing an option contract that offsets future market downsize risk.
- More aggressive investors, comfortable with anticipating future market movement, can capitalize by purchasing an option that insures their profit when, and if, their forecast is proved accurate.
We've introduced option chains for the investor who wants to see all available options on a stock, made our order entry screens easy to use and enriched the online educational content for those wanting to learn more about options.
