    Series 7 - Derivatives - Tricks and Study Tips
    I am looking for any tricks, easy charts, pneumonic devices etc. for derivatives for the series 7 exam. I have seen a few but I am just looking for some insight from others.

    • Calls
    • Puts
    • Spreads
    • Straddles


    I have a fairly good reference now but I am open to suggestions from people here.

    This will get the correct answer every time:

    buy + call = opportunity to buy (bullish); cost basis, unlimited gain; protect short position
    buy + put = opportunity to sell (bearish); sale proceeds, strike gain; protect long position
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    sell + call = forced to sell (bearish); unlimited loss; sale proceeds
    sell + put = forced to buy (bullish); cost basis

    Top two always pays the premium; bottom two always earns the premium
