Free Class Dispels Options Trading Myths
 |
Spread Trade Systems (STS) is offering a free one-hour online class designed
to dispel the myths and misinformation surrounding options trading. Noting

can result in substantial risk and large losses, STS has developed a comprehensive
review of options trading instruments to help prospective investors determine
if options trading is right for them. The class should be of interest to
investors who are not content with a buy and hold investment strategy or
their current trading approach, yet be wary of or unfamiliar with options
instruments. Attendees will receive an understanding of how options can
be used to leverage investment capital to generate returns, with low risk.
