Customer Reviews

Proofreader was AWOL
This book had so many errors and blatant contradictions it was more confusing than the genealogy of Jesus. It will have your head spinning so fast some may mistake you for Linda Blair! The author blitzes the reader with math and details the understanding of which simply is unnecessary in order to trade options and could easily intimidate someone new to trading. The excessive errors found throughout the text are inexcusable, especially for a technical book. When practical applications are finally covered in the final third of the book, we aren't presented with anything really interesting. The Iron Condor strategy is mentioned once earlier but is quickly dismissed in a condescending manner as if someone who could thread through all that math wouldn't easily pick up that relatively simple concept! If you are new to trading and don't want to be more confused after you read this book than before you picked it up, this one should be avoided.

Awesome book
A very good book. Written in a very easy way. Just can't stop reading it.

Excellent Material, but needs Indexing
I'm a newbie to options and find this book very understandable. The analogies in the book help one understand the nature of options.

My only criticism is that the book is not indexed. If I want to review a certain concept, sometimes it's difficult to relocate it because there is no index.
