Traders versus Investors

Options are one of the most versatile investment tools available. The reasons for using options are wholly dependent on the attitude to risk on the individual.

Rensburg Sheppards classify the users of options into two distinct categories:

• TradersTraders can use options to increase the level of risk by using the leveraged properties of options. It is possible for speculators to create massive amounts of risk from only amodest outlay.
• InvestorsInvestors use options as part of an overall investment strategy that can help to reduce risk and secure more predictable returns.

The Rensburg Sheppards option service is wholly geared towards Investors.
