- 1998: Volume 7, No. 5

This is a great time of year to be involved with the futures and options industry! Two of the premier events in our field are coming up and I would like to take a few lines to recommend then to you. The Futures Industry Association is hosting Futures and Options Expo '98 at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers October 14-16. This event showcases products, services and information for our industry through trade show and a variety of seminars and training sessions.

This issue is about options. We present a concentration of articles revolving around the theme of volatility, and that's certainly an issue which affects us all right now.

In November/December we will take our annual look at Technical Trading... always a popular issue. We will be featuring a number of articles prepared by speakers from this year's TAG 20, so you want to make sure not to miss it.

Thanks to all of you who have been e-mailing your comments and suggestions for articles. We are in the process of developing out 1999 editorial calendar and we hope to address a lot of your ideas in coming issues.
