Options in your IRA

View Complete Class Schedule

Learn defined-risk option strategies that can be used alone or in conjunction with a stock and mutual fund portfolio in your IRA. And stick around for the “how to’s” of order entry and execution. This is an intermediate-level class and we recommend having a working knowledge of option trading. It would also be helpful to have attended the Options for Traders class as well. This 6-hour free class will cover:

Selling puts to buy stock - the how's and why's Learning how to collar positions (selling a call, buying a put) …and much more

Enhancing your return by selling calls and credit spreads against your long stocks Using synthetic relationships to manage risk and reduce costs How to practically apply these principles using advanced technical tools

If you do not yet use the thinkorswim software, we recommend you download the free software from www.thinkorswim.com before attending the class.
