Join our entertaining, energetic and knowledgeable Instructor, Alka Mehta, as you learn about stock options investing. It is time to put your investing on auto-pilot! Learn about options and how they may help increase return on investment and/or mitigate risk; whether the stocks are going up, down or sideways! Options provide cost efficiency at lower risk, higher potential returns with more alternatives. Students will learn the "options lingo" - the basics terms and definitions as well as learning the difference between stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop/tablet to this class.

After completing our Stock Options Basic class, students now have the opportunity to learn about strategies like covered call, naked sell-put and butterfly. This class is designed for students that have completed the "Stock Options Basics Class" or have a basic knowledge of terms like ITM, ATM, option chain and know the difference between stocks and exchange traded funds. Students will review the basic options terms, learn about 3x leveraged ETFs, get hands-on experience in trading the options, and receive tips and tricks gained from our instructor's more than 10 years of experience in trading stock options. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop/tablet to this class.

Madison & Dane County's WIC Program is Open For Business

Federal Government Shutdown has not Affected Local WIC Services.

Madison WI – October 3, 2013 - Despite the shutdown of the federal government, and in response to the confusion created by national news stories reporting closures of the WIC program, local WIC officials wish to clarify that the program in Madison & Dane County is open for business. WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.

According to WIC supervisor Lesly Scott, “We need to get the word out that our program is indeed functioning normally. Our clinic hours are the same as always at both the South Park Street and East Washington locations.” She also reminds the public that WIC clinics outside of Madison will be open as usual on Fridays.  “WIC checks are good and we are encouraging clients to spend them.” Scott points out that these services will continue until further notice and that she is working with the state WIC Director and continually assessing the fiscal situation. 

Local merchants and vendors should not experience any difficulty redeeming those vouchers. State officials assure farmers participating in the WIC and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program that they can continue to use their farmers' market checks through October 31 and farmers can continue to deposit checks through November 15.
 

Those who have further questions about the WIC program can call the clinic at (608) 267-1111. Detailed information about the WIC program can be found online at www.publichealthmdc.com/family/wic/
