May 11, 2006 Understanding Options

Are you confused about options? Sure, who isn't. Heck, even AIG got slammed on its derivatives.

Fortunately, Alexander Chong at DailyIndia.com gives us an easy-to-read primer on options.

There are abundant of money in the stock market. However, not everybody can get the money out from there. Some people can gain a lot from the stock market but some has lost a lot of money there. It is very indecisive. Sometime at that moment, you loss money but after a few days, you may earn a profit and sometime is reverse. So, how should we do to get the money out from the stock market? Usually, there are two ways to get the money out from the stock market; that are investing and trading. The difference between trading and investing is trading involves buying and selling share, future or option within a short period of time; whereas investing is buying share, future or option and hold it for quite a long time, usually one year or more before selling it.

Dear lord, this more painful than reading Business Week.
