A quick update on some moves I&#8217;ve made: I sold out of my iShares Singapore ETF (EWS) early last week at $13.92.

But conservative investors can benefit using options even if they don&#8217;t know much about the Greeks or implied volatility.

By week&#8217;s end, AUY traded up to $13.30, justifying the trade for the time being. I initially opened this position at $0.47 late last year so a [...]]]></description>
