okiedo said Great book, practical pointers and easy read. Ok, I haven't read "hundreds" of Options books and I am not a sophisticated trader, however I have been trading options for over 10 years, probably 15 years by now. I do it on a small scale like many of the people who will read this book. I have attended two expensive "Options Seminars" and a couple of freebies. I was very reluctant to read Professor Olmstead's book since he is a math . Not for beginners MarkB I am a beginner with stock options, having never traded one.I am a very motivated learner however.For example, I have read about one-half of Wolfinger's "Rookie's Guide To Options", reaching Chapter 13.With that book, I got hung up on requiring a filled-in table.In my opinion this book was written for at least advanced beginners.I think Olmstead assumes the reader has some familiarity . I think this is best book on OPTIONS I do not realy review Items i Buy on Amazon Unless it is too Good or Too Bad, this way i think i am helping others who would like to read reviews before buying.this book deserves its weight gold, it is short and very straight to the point of application.no nonsense or spam in it, but very practical.every strategy is explained well and when to be used and followed by an example.I think
