Stock Options Tutorials

An Options Tutorial Should be Free:  There are many websites promoting an Options Tutorial which costs big bucks.  You should be able to find a good Options Tutorial for free.  In fact, you have already landed on a FREE Options Tutorial site.  All you have to is read what we have for you.  It should be a good start.

Stock is to Checkers As Options are to Chess:  Investing in stock is a whole lot easier than investing in options.  Investing in stocks is simple.  Just pick a horse and place your bet.  It is a simple game like playing checkers.  Investing in options is a whole lot more complicated – it is more like playing chess.  Options investing can be a life-long learning experience.  

For those of us who love the extra challenge of option investing, it is worth every minute of time you spend.  The rewards of options investing can be far greater than the possible gains of buying or selling stock, but the risks are also greater.  Options are leveraged investments.  Leverage works both ways – it can provide extraordinary gains as well as extraordinary losses.

Obviously, learning all you can about options is essential before you ever invest with real money.  So, where do you start?

Getting Started with your Free Options Tutorial:  We believe that you best bet would be to read every topic listed at Stock Options 101, beginning at the top.  Once you have an understanding of the basic definitions and concepts, your next step might be to sign up for our free weekly newsletter.

In addition to a new options idea sent to you each week you will get a free options report that puts many of the basic options concepts to work in the real world.

Eight Consecutive Successful Earnings Plays and What We Learned

Note: There is a lot of valuable information in this report for anyone who trades stock options. It will take you about 15 minutes to read, but that investment in your time could be worth thousands of dollars to you down the line. I hope you will read it thoroughly all the way to the end.

On April’s Fools Day in 2013, we opened a new $5000 portfolio at Terry’s Tips. We thought that might be a lucky day to start. For several months we had been studying what happens just before and after a company announces their quarterly earnings, and this portfolio was designed to put our observations to work.

The biggest thing we discovered in our analysis was that . . .

Two Earnings Play for This Week – Deere and Sina

The Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) spread I recommended last week resulted in a 20% gain. Not bad considering we were blindsided by their announcing a new 5-year deal with Starbucks that shot the stock 25% higher while we were betting on a lower post-announcement price. Our gain was not as great as last week’s 50% gain on Apple, but we will take 20% anytime (I’m sorry, but I executed the Apple spreads in a Terry’s Tips portfolio and did not share it with the free newsletter subscribers).
