Abstract
Exotic options are financial derivatives which are more complex than normally traded options (vanilla options). They are mainly used in OTC-trading (over the counter) to meet special needs of corporate customers. For example, a compound option allows one to acquire an ordinary option at a later date, and a chooser option is a form of the compound option where the buyer can decide at a later date which type of option he would like to have.
A man with one watch always knows what time it is, a man with two watches is never sure.
