The leverage they provide allows small accounts to trade like big ones, without the normally associated risks. And, in times of financial turmoil, options can keep you from incurring catastrophic losses. There are many ways in which options can both protect your portfolio \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e help you profit—but in order to take advantage of these opportunities, you have to learn how to properly use options in your investment endeavors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the cofounder and former chief options strategist for the Options University, and now as founder of ION Options, author Ron Ianieri is one of the most well-respected, and well-informed, individuals in this field. Over the course of his successful twenty-plus-year career in the options market, he has trained many professional traders, as well as numerous active investors. Now, with \u003ci\u003eOptions Theory and Trading,\u003c\/i\u003e he shares his extensive experience with you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on a proven option-trading course created by Ianieri, which follows a logical step-by-step progression, this book opens with an in-depth explanation of option terms and theory in Part One—because learning the language and understanding the theory is the foundation upon which successful option strategies are built. Continuing along these lines, Ianieri takes the time to explore the unique risks and rewards of call and put options, and introduces you to the option pricing model, the \"Greeks,\" and synthetic positions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Part Two, Ianieri moves on to basic trading strategies involving stock and options, including the covered call\/buy-write strategy, the covered put\/sell-write strategy, the protective put strategy, the synthetic put\/protective call strategy, and lastly, the collar strategy. In addition to this, you'll also discover the role of the \"lean\" in options trading and how to \"roll\" your position to establish a stream of income. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Ianieri demonstrates how well options function in unison with a stock position—enhancing potential gains, providing profit protection, and limiting the risk of the entire investment—he also examines how they can be even more effective when traded against each other. In Part Three, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of how to use vertical, diagonal, and time spreads in this way, and discover how straddles and strangles—which both feature the use of options in unison with one other—can help you achieve strong premium collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRounding out this detailed discussion of options is a close look at combination strategies. Part Four of \u003ci\u003eOptions Theory and Trading\u003c\/i\u003e takes you through fully hedged strategies known as the Butterfly and the Condor, and offers practical advice on how and when to use them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an environment of increasing volatility, there's great risk of market corrections endangering the capital of individual investors around the world. What you need to achieve long-term success in today's market is the right guidance.
