Customer Reviews

One of the best options strategy books

This book is somewhat out of date. However, it has a great deal of good strategy advice on how to evaluate option positions for risk and for reward. The author provides a straightforward and clear analysis. I recommend it highly. The strategies he proposes are not for small investors interested in playing the options market with a couple of thousand dollars. To achieve adequate diversification, and minimize the impact of transaction costs, one needs to invest a minimum of 30K and better 50K-100K in one of these hedges. Read this book and you will learn a great deal about the mathematics of risk and reward.

Good Starter

I found this book insighful and informative for both the novice and experienced trader. I only failed to give it 5 stars because there appear to be a few errors in the spreadsheet code included in the appendices. If anyone has encountered the same problems I would appreciate hearing from them.
