I read the book in just a few days. Since then I have gone over it again. It was very insightful. The concept of Option hedges makes investing a little more predictable. I have been using this process in my trading. In 1 month I have had a 9% return so far. Not amazing, but consistent and dependable.
Options Simplified
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Harvey Friedentag, a Denver-based registered investment adviser, has done all investors a favor. In writing this book, he clarifies many of the misunderstandings that surround the world of listed investment options. Too many consider the use of investment options as another form of gambling. This impression remains, despite their ability to minimize portfolio risk, diversification while maximizing capital gains, income and downside protection. This well-written book is not for beginners, the author cautions. Rather, it is for experienced investors who have been unsuccessful; those who have made either small gains or, worse, lost money. This easy-to-understand book provides grounding in investment options. It begins with definitions. Then, it proceeds to strategy and tactics. The chapter on taxes is worth the book's price. "Fear always springs from ignorance," Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote. Those words ring true in the investment world. By penning this book, Friedentag has gone a long way to alleviate much of the misunderstanding that surrounds options strategies.
