Welcome, and thank you for signing up.

Keep Your Options Open is a small publication about investing and gardening. I write it as I learn, so you'll get the real process, including the parts I'm still figuring out. This first issue covers what's on the site so far.

The newest post is Introduction to Stock Options. It starts with one idea: an option is a contract, not a stock. Buying one gives you the right to buy or sell shares at a set price before a set date, and you are never forced to use it. The post covers calls, puts, and the handful of terms that come up in almost every conversation about options.
