21st Century Investor Exclaims Program's Success

BOCA RATON, FL - July 23, 2001 -- As part of its ongoing commitment to investor education, 21st Century Investor Publishing, Inc. launched the most comprehensive options trading course on the Internet last month. Today, the company reports that investor enrollment has been much heavier than expected.

"The response to our free option trading course has been phenomenal," said publisher, James DiGeorgia. "We've had to beef up our server capacity to meet investor demand."

Investors have been flocking to http://www.21stcenturyinvestor.com/page/education where a twelve-week course provides an interactive way to learn how to trade options.

"Those investors who are new to options will gain a solid foundation in options fundamentals and learn the 23 most widely-used option trading strategies," said course creator Bill Johnson. "Experienced option traders can test their options I.Q. online to find out how the course can benefit them."

The online 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 Investor's Online Education Center at http://www.21stcenturyinvestor.com/page/education/tco/courses/.
