For reasons that will always confound investors sometimes the mispricings get worse before they get better. If you are highly leveraged in the transaction you can lose all your money before you get a chance to make any. There are people who play this game seriously. They are sophisticated, well financed, have the most modern computers, software, live trade data and are often members of the exchanges. Competing against them at home in your spare time is not a good idea.
Options are a remarkable financial invention.
Each year new uses for them arise. There are plenty of ways to use them to your advantage. However, the next time you are tempted to lay out hundreds or thousands of dollars for seminars that will teach you how to make millions in your spare time be sure to exercise your option to interview plenty of previous attendees. Chances are you will find only the seminar presenters are making millions. Click here to sign up for Meridian's FREE email updates.
