Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain requirements must be met to trade options through Schwab. Multiple-leg options strategies will involve multiple commissions. With long options, investors may lose 100% of the principal invested. Spread trading may only be done in margin accounts. Please read the Options Disclosure Document entitled "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" before considering any options transaction. Call your local Schwab office, or write to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. at 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104 for a current copy.
