One of the most complex and misunderstood strategies associated with Investing is with regards to Stock Options. Often perceived to be highly levered and risky, Options have had their reputation particularly tarnished further by the bad press derivatives have received since the near collapse of the financial industry over the past few years. However, much of this negativity that surrounds Options is very far wide of the mark. Options are a powerful tool that can be used in conjunction with both aggressive and passive investment strategies. Applied correctly, Options can also allow you to benefit from increased leverage on the upside while mitigating risk on the downside.

Even the greatest value investor of the modern world, Warren Buffett, utilizes options to generate an income upfront for further reinvestment. This is why the first thing we deal with here at the Education Centre revolves around Options. Every week, you will be privy to either a new sub-topic or indeed a brand new topic, which should enable you to increase you understanding of Options and enable you to adopt some of the strategies to your own, developing portfolio. As always, we encourage feedback and suggestions to please free to email us on support@brookswealth.com or you can email James directly at james.brooks@brookswealth.com
