So we will discuss such types of options strategies that will give you easily 25-30% return in a year.

But the first thing you need to understand why a retail investor who is looking to build long-term wealth should know about the future and options? It’s because if you do not know about the future and options, then you will never be a successful investor. For being a barrier, you should know how to attack, and as well as you should know how to defend yourself. So defending is more important in the stock market than attacking. If you defend then you will successfully attack and you can win. The market is a game of mind. So to defend yourself, you should know all the tactics.

There is a lot of miss understanding and misinformation spread especially among the newbies or new investors. What our textbook theories said about F & O? They inscribe like F & O are very risky. You should never trade. Yeah, futures and options are indeed risky but F & O are not for trading, these are for hedging. We will discuss more about the hedging in the later articles. Hedging is like buying an insurance policy that will save you from a big loss and can make a profit.
