The AAII Research Triangle Chapter presents...
"Understanding Option Volatility"
Discussed by:
Alan Grigoletto
Director of Education, The Options Industry Council
Options can give investors the flexibility to hedge market exposure, speculate on a specific market move, or allow investors to take simple to complex option positions. One of the most critical and least understood components to the success of option trading is volatility. This presentation is designed to give you an introduction to what volatility is, how it works, and why it is important to understand it. Even though volatility is an extremely complex subject, Alan will break it down in simple terms without getting bogged down in the complex calculus.
