Standard options have long offered a more flexible way to invest. But a relatively new product called Weekly Options, or "Weeklys," gives investors an even more efficient way to use leverage and target profits. As of Jan. 5, there were 40 underlying assets - including stocks, exchange-traded funds, and indexes - available as Weekly Options on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).
