Customer Reviews

Good, but very basic
Very basic book about options. Made really easy to understand the topic, very good for beginners. My rating is 3.5 stars. I did not like that the author indicated a lot of links like "I trade like this..." or "This site explains Fibonacci well..." and when you go there it costs literally an arm and a leg to get the materials. There's some very good stuff for free on the net about fibs and others. In general, is a very good book for beginners

Understanding OPTION's TRADING with Graphs tand Charts.
This book is great for learning the terminology of OPTION's. Easy to understand graphs augment the words for learning what VERTICAL and what CALENDAR SPREAD's are. Everything else is/are just various combination(s) of these very basic two. That's it!! It's that simple.

From there, learn the four Greeks...
- DELTA,
- GAMMA,
- THETA, and
- VEGA...

then,
- find a product with MASSIVE LIQUIDITY (like the SPYders),
- place a Position (SELL JUNK (OTM Options) with either an IRON CONDOR or a BUTTERFLY)) 4-10 weeks out before expiration with 60% to 75% chance of success,
- collect $$$ off the THETA DECAY (24/7, including Sat, Sun, & Hol),
- GET OUT 4-10 days before expiration,
- MANAGE RISK (try to keep a DELTA NEUTRAL situation), and
- Be happy with your small change... they do add up!!

The rest? IMHO,
- Charts,
- Technical Analysis,
- Fundamental Analysis,
- Supports,
- Candles,
- watching MSNBC,
- consulting your Fairy Godmother, etc etc... FORGET IT.

Nobody knows anything. 85% of Mutual Fund Managers CONSISTENTLY FAIL to outperform the S&P500.
Also, please remember, the DJIA is a MANIPULATED NUMBER!! I think of the original 30, only GE is left. All the rest were replaced (some numerous times) to keep it coninuing on in an Upward Trend... did you know that?

Tough read!
But let me put it to you this way you always have the option to make a call and and liquidate your positions if you spread your position.
