How the Listed Options Markets Work:
Why do investors use certain options strategies? How do those strategies get executed? What’s the proper hedge? What’s the role of the broker, the liquidity provider? How do market makers make money? Are all options traded electronically? What happens at expiration? Join Bill Ryan, Managing Director, NYSE Amex Options, as he gets answers to these questions and more from our panel of industry experts.

Planning For Your Future:

Getting Started in the Options Business:
How can you get your foot in the door to the options industry? Is there a “best approach” and how did other options professionals get their start? What industry associations are out there to assist students in their knowledge about the industry? Listen to a panel of recent Baruch graduates and seasoned industry professionals tell their stories and offer their expertise. Moderated by Joanna Fields, Director, Deutsche Bank Securities.

Experiences from the Field with Pete Najarian:
