Definition:
What Does Dollar-Cost Averaging - DCA Mean? The technique of buying a fixed dollar amount of a particular investment on a regular schedule, regardless of the share price . More shares are purchased when prices are low, and fewer shares are bought when prices are high. Also referred to as a "constant dollar plan".
Investopedia explains Dollar-Cost Averaging - DCA Eventually, the average cost per share of the security will become smaller and smaller. Dollar-cost averaging lessens the risk of investing a large amount in a single investment at the wrong time. For example, you decide to purchase $100 worth of XYZ each month for three months. In January, XYZ is worth $33, so you buy three shares. In February, XYZ is worth $25, so you buy four additional shares this time. Finally, in March, XYZ is worth $20, so you buy five shares. In total, you purchased 12 shares for an average price of approximately $25 each. In the U.K., it is known as "pound-cost averaging".

Assignment 2: why you invested in your chosen future and option?
According to www.stockoptionschannel.com the Most 15 Active Call & Put Options Facebook was rank # 3 to put for month of March. Regarding the future option is to buy CRUDE OIL according yahoo finance the oil prices hits the lowest since 12 years.
Assignment 3: Why is it a good idea to invest in it?
I choose the Frontier Communications Corporation because the communications industry growing faster also the price of the company was the lowest in the Communications industry.

Assignment 4 & 5
Assignment 4:
Return on Asset (ROA) is the indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. It tells us what earnings were generated from invested capital (assets).
The protective put, is a hedging strategy where the holder of a security buys a put to guard against a drop in the stock price of that security. We bought 500 Shears at Amazon Company and we gain profit by 12.93%. In this case we bought 1 protective put option to cover our Amazon profit.
A covered call is when the investor has a long position in an asset combined with a short position in a call option on the same underlying asset. A call writer may be required to deliver the stock if the buyer exercises his option. An investor will write a call option when he feels that a particular stock's price will not rise above a certain level. For this case we have bought 2,106 shears at Novartis Company and we are losing by 3.50%. In this situation we bought 1 covered call option for Novartis Company.
Assignment 5:
Index fund
Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund is an open-end fund incorporated in the USA. The Fund's objective is to match the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Fund invests in the stocks that compose the Index and in stock-index futures. The fund has returned -1.15 percent over the past year, 10.75 percent over the past three years, 10.38 percent over the past five years, and 6.00 percent over the past decade
Mutual fund
The long-term track record for FCNTX is among the best in the mutual fund industry. The lifetime return since inception for Fidelity Contrafund is an incredible 12.5%. Under Danoff’s tenure, the 15-year annualized return of 8% crushes the S&P 500’s 4.9%, and FCNTX beats 99% of large-growth stock funds. The 10-year return ranks ahead of 87% of category peers.
