Customer Reviews

This has opened up some new ways fro me to hedge in this volatile market.
Having most of my money in 401k's and in my company stocks I have accumulated over the years, I have found much value in options to protect myself. Until I saw this I knew the meanings of options but did not understand the concepts of time decay and the types of spreads available for simple investors like me. This has opened up a whole new chapter in my style of investing and I can now sleep better knowing I have hedges protecting my major assets. Thank you Mr. Frey!!

Option Trading DVD
I didn't think the DVD was worth the price. I really didn't get any knowledge worth using. The product is way overpriced and not professionally
