[TheOptionClub.com] Re: synthetics

 

On Charles Cottle's web site: www.riskdoctor.com, you can sign up for a short free email course which is excerpted from Chapter 1 of OTTHR.

Each lesson is a downloadable PDF file that you can save, print etc.

One of those lessons has a pretty complete list of all the synthetic variants of option spreads, both using options only, and using a combination of options and underlying.

There are also other free resources on the site, including videos of some of this material.
