21st Century Investor Launches Online Options Trading Course

Offers Free Access to the Most Comprehensive Options Curriculum on the Internet

BOCA RATON, FL - June 20, 2001 -- As part of its commitment to ongoing investor education, 21st Century Investor Publishing, Inc. today announced that it has launched the most comprehensive options trading course on the Internet, and registration is free.

"We decided to create the 21st Century Options Trading Course because we recognized that many investors want an easy, fun and interactive way to learn how to trade options," said publisher, James DiGeorgia. "Whether you are new to options or a seasoned trader, the 21st Century Options Trading Course will provide you with a solid foundation in options fundamentals and a host of proven strategies that will make you a better investor."

"Many options gurus promise big profits selling options trading systems, sometimes charging as much as $5,000 for an introductory course. Still, most novice traders lose money," adds course creator Bill Johnson. "The 21st Century Options Trading Course is different. First of all, it's free and there's no obligation to buy anything ever. Second, this course examines twenty-three unique trading strategies. It's not a one-size-fits-all system."

"By the time an investor has completed the 21st Century Options Trading Course, he will have the know-how to select a strategy that is both tailored to his investment outlook and appropriate to his risk tolerance," he concluded.

The twelve-week course covers everything from basic options pricing and profit and loss diagrams to advanced options strategies including synthetic shorts and winged spreads. A complete course outline can be found on 21st Century Education at http://www.21stcenturyinvestor.com/page/education/tco/courses/.
