Options Mastery Series Course

To add another dimension to what Mr.Padmanabhan had stated, writing an Option without the underlying asset is like assuming an Obligation in adversity without an exit clause. That is why, the Chennai friends would have lost out in a one-sided market.

The flavor of the day are stuff like zero-cost Option a host of hybrids that seek to limit your Premium outflow. But with every structuring, the buyer also steps into the shoes of the Writer, apoint that gets missed out quite often.

In the Indian scenario, I would look at Options only when I have an exposure in ther underlying equity share. To me, it will have the same value as an Insurance Policy does.

Thankls for the info man..........

Thanks sir,  
Recently I got a tip from an ICAI faculty that last year many small traders from the state of Tamil Nadu, in India lost heavily by becoming option writers. 
                          With a number of trading strategies, sound understanding of the concept is vital for dealing with options.  As one can take a larger position in the case of an option when compared to the stock I think they have higher return potential. Options can present flexible investment options and be effectively employed as a hedging  alternative to mitigate risk once you are comfortable with them.

Thanks a lot for the info...
