Elliot Spitzer may have moved into the governors mansion on the heals of taking on hedge funds and mutual fund companies, but now smaller investors can compete with those big firms that Spitzer felt had too much advantage. 

The laws haven't been changed, but technology is leveling the playing field.

PowerOptions provides online tools and solutions that help options traders maximize the profits on their trades with tools that provide internet-based data that can help traders zero in on the highest possible return on an option.  Plus, their latest press release now indicates that they are offering a 14-day free trial.

Trading stock options is one of the most highly technical investment endeavors that can be undertaken.  If you stumbled over the concepts involved in  Calculus in high school and college, then you will be able to appreciate how complex trading options can be.  Trading options is basically buying a derivative of the value of some underlying asset (or selling the derivative that is).

This is not something that you can jump into through some simple stock program.  Investors in stock options need very good information and even better tools to make the right investment calls.  If they don't they can lose a significant amount of money or miss out on earning an even bigger amount of money.
