Paul Nowak   ISSUE 609 | SEPT 2007

Are you ready to take your options knowledge to new heights? What do the pros know about options that you don't?

Join a specially selected group of industry professionals to boost your knowledge of advanced options strategies. Lind-Waldock, in cooperation with the CME Group, is pleased to present three weekly strategy sessions that you can join live online, simulcast from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Sign up now through our events calendar.

When most investors think of options, they think of stock options, sometimes not realizing the potential of options on futures. "I am a firm believer that all option traders should trade both stock and futures options," said Larry McMillan, author of the bestselling book, Options as a Strategic Investment. Lind-Waldock's Futures Options Forum will help investors and traders see the full potential of options on futures.

You'll hear essential trading information and outlooks for various markets in a series of unique strategy sessions. You can even ask the presenters questions via live chat.

We'll even provide you with a free instructional CD: Trading Options on CME Futures, after you register.

Options are one of the fastest growing and most versatile trading instruments. They can help you define your risk or provide extra income. Understanding them is crucial to the success of a trader as they provide another tool that can fit well within an overall trading strategy.

"Purchasing options are a flexible and many times safer method of participating in what can be volatile futures markets," said Jim Wyckoff, Chief Technical and Market Analyst at FutureSource.com. "A more conservative trader can purchase options on futures and be able to sleep comfortably at night--knowing exactly what his financial risk parameters are."

Futures Options Forum: Advanced Strategy Sessions for Traders
October 24, 31 & November 7, 2007

We've assembled a group of trading professionals and analysts who will share their unique perspectives on various futures options strategies that you as a trader can put to use. We'll cover the deltas, thetas and gammas of option trading. If terms like strangles, straddles, condors and butterflies make you raise an eyebrow, you'll learn, in simple terms, how these options strategies work.

Agenda and Speakers

While this event is targeted for those already familiar with options, if you're new to options, you'll get an overview of what you need to know about these dynamic markets before you trade.
