Customer Reviews Rating: - From the Stock Traders Headquarters library
This book is pricy but it's a super book. If you have any desire to learn stock options, this a must read. Stock options have very high risks and should not be traded if you are a beginner

Rating: - Great reference
Extremely dry writing style, but very comprehensive and informative. Covers pretty much every conceivable option strategy in the context of both equity and futures options and imparts realistic expectations.
Supplement with Option Volatility & Pricing by Natenberg, and them maybe spend some time playing with a good modeling platform like the one provided by [...]

It was my bad for not reading the entire title, I ended up returning it for refund.
This is a review for the non-professional investor or for the new full time investor who is considering a possible 2nd career or full time activity with their personal funds.
As an individual investor for over 30 years, I thought I knew the ropes about Options and Stocks. The first 94 pages opened my eyes to what I did not know! These pages alone have changed my investment strategy profoundly and for the better.
This is a best of breed book. It's pithy and precise. It's not a breezy read. But the good news is that it's comprehendable to the non-professional. I was delighted with excellent concept presentations, examples, and well defined terminology.
In exchange for the effort of reading and re-reading - yes plowing through it -- you are rewarded with the techniques of the pros. You'll see options investing in a very different and profitable way.
You might consider investing your time an money in this book before plunging thousands of dollars into "investor education" which is marketed so aggressively today. Once you know the fundamentals that this book provides, you'll be in a better position to assess the value of these other alternatives.
I can't give this book enough praise.

Considered by many professionals as the bible of option trading, Options as a Strategic Investment is a must have addition to any serious option's trader. Option trading is widely misunderstood and feared by many stock traders mostly because it takes real effort to really capture the mechanics that is behind this trading form.
This book will help anyone that is beginning in this exciting field to get a grip of all the things that is involved in option trading and is a great reference book for professionals. The lessons are clear and the information is up to date and straight to the point. Studying this book alone or even better...this book with a few other reference books will get you in the right direction of this often misunderstood but highly profitable form of trading. A must buy addition to anyone's trading book collection.
