Before continuing, we need to emphasize
that options represent a higher-level form of
investment, and carry a much higher amount of
risk. As such, investors are advised to thoroughly
understand and learn how to trade options before investing,
and to only invest with risk capital. |

Stock options
are more complex and risky than
stocks. Carefully study and learn how to trade options
before investing. Also, only invest
with money that you can afford to lose.

| This guide
helps you learn stock options in the American
stock market. The properties and rules in trading
options defer from country to country. If you wish
to learn stock options in a different country, the
option basics from this guide still apply, but you
are advised to consult your local Options Exchange
for details. This guide assumes that you already have a basic understanding of the stock market. If you need more information on that, you can read Investopedia's stock tutorial here. The topics covered in the Option Basics Guide are as follows. You can click a title to jump directly to that topic, or click the "Next" button below to start with the first topic. |
