Welcome to the Option Basics Guide!

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 stock options before investing,
and to only invest with risk capital.
Prior to buying or selling an option, a
person must receive a copy of Characteristics
and Risks of Standardized Options (ODD).
Copies of the ODD are available from your
broker, by calling 1-888-OPTIONS, or from
The Options Clearing Corporation, One North
Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois
60606.

Stock options
are more complex and risky than
stocks. Carefully study and learn stock 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"
