Trading Authority and Risk
October 2, 2011 | 
Author All investments have risk. Real estate, stocks, and mutual funds have risk, and of course options have risk. But have you ever considered the risk of cash? Not the risk of someone breaking into your house and stealing the money under your mattress, but the risk your money in the bank doesn’t retain buying power.
This week we’ll discuss option trading accounts and how brokerages look at them. If you lack an option trading account, knowing almost everything about them won’t help you make any money. This will not be a recommendation to any specific broker or brokerage. Its an individual decision, like picking a favorite flavor of ice cream, my favorite flavor shouldn’t be yours, no matter how much I know about ice cream.
