SEX AND THE SOUL INVESTMENT COMMENTARY Monday June 15, 2009
TRADING OPTIONS
This website focuses on trading options, particularly in the futures markets. While trading options is not difficult, most people have little or no knowledge about them. Options trading is viewed as being 'risky', and it is certainly more complicated than trading stocks, but it is also more rewarding. We use options for two reasons. First, it is safer to trade futures options than to trade futures and second, options are more financially lucrative than trading straight stocks or futures. This is a lot of fun. We hope you will enjoy your options trading experience. Personally, I do not view trading options as being risky and when I was a broker I objected to being forced to give that impression to my clients. Yes, you can lose all of your investment money trading options, but that can happen with stocks and bonds as well. The risks are certainly different from those involved with trading stocks and bonds, but so are the rewards. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and National Futures Association (NFA) portray options as risky basically because options expire and options traders will lose all of their investment money if they haven't made a profit by the expiration date, as well as for a number of other reasons, but anyone familiar with the stock market realizes that the markets can crash suddenly and leave investors penniless no matter what the investment vehicle. I prefer to view options as different from stocks and bonds and therefore the risks are different. Any investor should realize that he or she can lose all of their investment in any given trade. Therefore, never invest what you cannot afford to lose! Investors have been wiped out when trading stocks, bonds and futures. In fact, throughout history, there are probably more investors who have been wiped out when trading stocks and bonds than when trading options because options trading didn't exist before the late 1960s. Furthermore, options can be used to decrease the risk from trading stocks, bonds and futures. If you are an investor with a portfolio and you wish to decrease the risks of market fluctuations by using options, you can learn that here. My advice to those new to trading options is not to be scared off by exaggerated claims of risks with options, but rather to realize that all investments carry the risk of loss therefore, with options, you should learn the benefits and risks associated with trading options and seek to use options to your advantage. As is true with anything in life, any financial investment has risks, some greater than others. Our effort here is not to downplay the risks with options, but rather to place options trading in a more realistic perspective, including the perspective where options can actually decrease the risks associated with trading stocks, bonds and commodities futures.
