The Complete Options Course: Calls, Puts, Long, Short & More
Description:
Everyone needs to understand options – including investors, entrepreneurs, CEOs and CFOs because it affects all of our lives and can make us a fortune or help to protect us from losing everything. In this course I will teach you from scratch EVERYTHING you need to know about options. I will also provide you with many comprehensive Excel spreadsheets so that you can thoroughly enjoy, understand & practice investing in options from scratch.
I have used options a lot in my career having worked at hedge fund giant Citadel, Goldman Sachs, in the venture capital sector and as a student when I did my MBA in Finance from Columbia University where I (humbly) got the top grade in my class in my options course. I love teaching based on my real life practical experience and I make options easy and so much fun to learn in this comprehensive course!
There are 3 Primary Sections in this Course:
*Introduction to Options
*Valuation and Analysis of Options
*35 Option Strategies
* Many Excel exercises are included in all 3 primary sections of the course. There is also an optional section that teaches you how I made all the Excel Spreadsheets from scratch (without using any code or macros).
