Welcome to yet another blog about stock options, trading them, valuing them, swapping them for stock (i.e. exercising them), and using them to fulfill the risk seeking (or averse) side of your inner trader. I am going to look at mostly equity options but will expand my horizons and I learn from my readers. Hopefully, in the long term, I will even develop some options strategies, for now, you'll have to settle for strategery. I hope to better understand volatility (it's a bit like magic to me) and branch out into some exotic options like currency options or commodity options.
