One of the most misunderstood areas of the investment world is the options market. Many investors think of options as a risky, speculative investment. In general, options are bought by people who expect dramatic, short term moves in stocks, and this is definitely the realm of speculators.

It sounds complicated, but tune in Saturday morning, and I will explain how this may help increase your returns.
