Options Explained Simply: The Fundamental Principles Course is an introduction to Options. It is suitable for complete novices to finance; prior specialised financial knowledge is not a pre-requisite. The course explains Options simply enough to enable a wide audience to understand them. It is a lesson-by-lesson course that will give you an intuitive and sound understanding of what Options are, how they are valued, and how they behave. It will give you the knowledge and the confidence necessary to analyse Options intelligently, and set you up well for further Options study (should you wish to pursue any). The course begins by explaining some basic concepts, namely: Spot transactions; Long and Short positions; Arbitrage; Expected Value; Risk; and the Time Value of Money. Then it progresses to explaining Forwards and Futures, and then Options. The course is authored by Balbinder Chagger. He has a rigorous understanding of Options, consolidated over 13 years of professional practice in the Market Risk and Product Control functions of global investment banks. Furthermore, he has formally recognised teaching skills, developed while acquiring a PGCE in Secondary School Mathematics and working as a Mathematics Teacher. His ability to teach Options simply enables you to understand them easily. The level of mathematics usually associated with Options is advanced and sophisticated. It is beyond the level that most people choose to pursue an education in mathematics to. An advanced layer of mathematics makes Options appear incomprehensible and intimidating to most people. To avoid that, and to allow a wide audience to understand, the course is taught with simplified mathematics. All that is required is confidence with arithmetic, basic algebraic expressions, averages, simple interest, and reading graphs. The following steps have also been taken in order to promote understanding: - The subject matter is often taught with reference to familiar, real-life scenarios. - The amount of detail is simplified to keep the subject matter clear and unclouded by unnecessary layers of complexity. - Visualisation, an important and powerful means for learning for most people, is extensively utilised. Often, the written explanations given are complimented with graphical illustrations in order to clarify the subject matter more than words alone do. The calculations presented are visually transparent in that every key step in them is clearly shown. Coloured text is used to emphasise and/or clarify key points.
