• Seminar Materials for Advisors
  
  The CBOE Options Institute has presentation material available for you to give to your clients and prospects. These presentations include speaker notes to guide you through the presentation. We currently have 3 presentations available for you to use, with more to come soon. The topics and approximate length of the presentations are:
  
  
  • Basic/Introduction to Options (1:15 minutes)
  • The Covered Call (45 minutes)
  • Selling Equity Puts (30 minutes)
  
  Although CBOE's Regulatory Division has approved the material, your Registered Options Principal must also approve it for you to use. Please contact Felicia Tatum of the Options Institute at 312-786-7760. She will e-mail you the presentations you wish to use, and the SROP approval letter which must be signed and returned before giving any of the presentations.
