Derivatives: A Survival Guide (NASDAQ)

September 17, 2012 / Greg Jensen

By Greg Jensen

I would wager that before 2007 most mainstream investors had not even heard the word “derivative” other than as a dismissive description of a song or movie. During the financial crisis, however, the word was everywhere, usually with scare quotes. There were articles, seemingly every day, claiming that derivatives were the problem. They were bad things, designed to take investor’s money away and further enrich the fat cats on Wall Street. They were inherently flawed and always had been doomed. They should be banned. Market insiders put on their “wry smile” face and muttered “This too shall pass…” to themselves. Overreaction usually looks ridiculous with hindsight.

Options Animal is the place to learn about trading options if you are serious. There are 6 full time instructors that teach daily to fit anyones schedule including night and weekends. All the classes are recorded so you can study 24/7. All the instructors share common goals but have very subtle differences in their approach. They teach how to make money in all situations when the market is down as well as stagnant or up. They have approaches for very short term trades as well as crock pot trades that can be left alone for 6 months to a year. Their emphasis is understanding the theory and application so you can use the knowledge to develop your own trading style and not be dependent on them. Can't recommend the team highly enough.

By far the best educational source for options trading that I have found in my 4+ years of learning. An incredible amount of information, education, and support - worth every investment penny for anyone serious about learning options trading. The most helpful, passionate, and skilled instructors - all with different perspectives that make it easy to find your own path instead of getting told what your path should be.
