Financial Options for noobs

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Chris Matts is drafting comic strips on real options and financial options in the new decision coach blog he and Olav Maassen started yesterday.

I particularly liked the draft on Financial Options, it explains a number of not so intuitive financial instruments and techniques (e.g. naked short selling and futures) in such a way that I find them easy to understand, and possibly explain them to others. Not a bad thing to have in turbulent financial times. Chris’s goal is to make themĀ  understandable by ‘basically everybody’ – I encourage you to go and read it, and give him some feedback on bits you don’t understand.
