PERSONAL FINANCE WORKSHOP: LEARNING ABOUT CALL AND PUT OPTIONS

 

Personal Finance Workshop:

Learning about Call and Put Options

Tuesday, January 7th and January 14th

6:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.

 

From Windsor Terrace Library

Come take charge of your personal finances and learn about investing in stocks with The Kensington Stewards.

This is a series of two classes on the basics of stock options.

 

In our recent classes, we have talked about investing in fixed income instruments, stocks, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds. More investors now like to trade using stock options and now many funds (ETFs and Mutual Funds) use stock options as part of their strategy and operating practice.

 

In this class, we will talk about the basic concepts to foster an appreciation of these contracts.

Pre-registration on the library's website is appreciated.

All are welcome!

The workshops will be presented by Peter Gomori, retired St. Francis College professor, with The Kensington Stewards.
