         <link>http://equitytheme.webnode.com/news/put-on-a-call-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[One of the four types of compound options, this is a put option on an underlying call option. The buyer of a put on a call has the right but not the obligation to sell the underlying call option on the expiration date. This type of option is used when leverage is desired, and the trader is bearish on the underlying asset. The value of a put on a call changes in inverse proportion to the price of the underlying asset, i.e. it decreases as the asset price increases, and increases as the asset...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[An equity-based exotic option from the family of mountain range options. Atlas options have a payout that is based on the performance of the underlying securities, which are stocks. At maturity, some of the best- and worst-performing stocks are removed from this group of underlying securities, at which point the payout is calculated on the remainder of the securities.<br />

         <link>http://equitytheme.webnode.com/news/iron-butterfly/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[It's considered a neutral strategy, and you would employ this method if you believe a stock will trade within a certain range by its option's expiration.
The trade consists of writing an at-the-money call and an at-the-money put; then buying an out-of-the-money call and an out-of-the-money put.
Essentially what we did was put on two spreads: one bear call spread and one bull put spread. Another way of looking at this is that we put on a short&#160;straddle&#160; and a long strangle .<br />

         <link>http://equitytheme.webnode.com/news/short-hedge/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[An investment strategy that is focused on mitigating a risk that has already been taken. The "short" portion of the term refers to the act of shorting a security, usually a derivatives contract, that hedges against potential losses in an investment that is held long. 

If a short hedge is executed well, gains from the long position will be offset by losses in the derivatives position, and vice versa. <br />

         <link>http://equitytheme.webnode.com/news/time-decay-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[The ratio of the change in an option's price to the decrease in time to expiration. Since options are wasting assets, their value declines over time. As an option approaches its expiry date without being in the money, its time value declines&#160;because the probability of that option being profitable (in the money) is reduced. 

Also known as "theta" and "time-value decay". <br />
