Research Stock Options and Learn How They Work
Before getting into the options trading game, you must learn what stock options are through research. As an overview, stock options are contracts that give you the option to buy or sell a stock at a certain price on the agreed-upon date. While purchasing stocks immediately gives you company ownership, stock options are more temporary contracts that provide short-term benefits.
