What it does:
Teaches people how to trade options through online trainings, web seminars and home study courses.

Why it's growing:
More brokers offer options, but not as many investors understand what options are. The service has become popular with baby boomer retirees who have a retirement account but aren't happy with their returns.

What's noteworthy:
They've developed a unique technology that allows them to reach up to 2,000 people in one live real-time web seminar, which has proven to be a popular and effective teaching tool.
