United States of America (Press Release) August 6, 2007 --
Before you invest any money in stock options, you need to have some knowledge of what options are and how they can benefit (or hurt!) your portfolio. Options For CPAs offers a free course to introduce accounting professionals to the art and science of adding options as an investment vehicle. Many investors are not aware that options can be a conservative investment and still produce outstanding returns.
The founder and owner of Options For CPAs, Andrew Long, is a CPA who has had years of experience in trading options. On his website (www.OptionsForCPAs.com), he describes how, like most investors, he did not fully understand nor appreciate the power of options when he first invested in options. After experiencing a few large losses, he was ready to quit trading options and accept the returns he had been getting by investing in mutual funds. However, he goes on to describe the difference a good education can make to an investor and that he now conservatively earns at least 36% each year. Just as it is important for a CPA candidate to study before taking the CPA exam, it is important for an options investor to study before investing in options.
According to Mr. Long, "Options have a dimension that stocks do not have: time. This distinguishing factor of an option means that it is a depreciating asset in the sense that it has a limited life, and has to be used before the date on which it expires. As time goes by, the option loses value as it moves closer to its expiration date. The single biggest factor causing many investors to lose money trading option is a lack of understanding of the value of time when making the options purchase decision."
After being asked various questions about investing in options by several co-workers (who happened to be accountants) Mr. Long decided to make a course freely available to CPAs and accounting professionals. The free course at OptionsForCPAs.com is believed to be the first options course targeted to CPAs and accounting professionals. The course was written by Ron Ianieri, the individual who helped Mr. Long understand how to conservatively make money investing in options. Mr. Ianieri enjoyed 14 years of experience as a floor trader on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, including four years as the lead market maker in DELL computer options – one of the busiest books in history.
The free course covers such topics as: “The Importance of Education to the Investor”, “Option Basics”, “Calls and Puts”, “Parity”, “The Difference Between ITM, ATM, and OTM”, “Options Trading Strategies” and much more. To sign up for the course, simply enter your email address at www.OptionsForCPAs.com and a lesson will be delivered to your inbox each day.
