Good book

Good intro book on option trading. Options can be complex. Best to know many strategies to making money.

The text is great, but the charts are not readable on my Kindle e-reader. Almost every topic in this book is illustrated with charts, graphs, or plots, and they can't be enlarged on the Kindle, leaving the chart key and graph line labels unreadable. The coverage of option trading is excellent, just not usable in the e-reader format.

I was very disappointed in this book,as a matter of fact I gave up on it.Pleased be advised this is my opinion and I was trying to get a grip on the basics connected with options.I'm sure they are their, but as a novice I felt any guidance offered in most cases it didn't jump out of the page at you.However, I didn't give up and at the advice of a previous reviewer I bought "Understanding Options" by Michel Sincere please see that review.

Planning to diversify my portfolio and wanted to learn a little bit about trading, so I got this book. As all "for Dummies" books, this book is easy to read and to follow. It gave me a good basic understanding of how trading works, with some good tips. It was unbiased, which I like, since there are so many trading strategies. Great Price and got it in 2 days with my Prime Membership. Highly recommend.

Excellent book. I already had a reasonable understanding of trading stocks, but was always struggling to get into options. This book gives good high-level overviews and detailed analyses of every aspect of options trading, most importantly, which ones to buy, when, and how. It includes useful background information, and info on the day-to-day practicalities. Honestly, it's like the scales have fallen from my eyes. Overall, the financial dummies books are great for beginners, and can get you up to speed in no time.

good book with interesting ideas

I have worked through about half of the book but it does what I had hoped for. Unlike the 'pros' who write books this series assumes you know little about the subject. You get background and detailed explanations and definitions that most other books do not bother with. It will serve as a reference when I have finished. Excellent buy.

A little more technical than I thought it would be, but I think it's good if you have some history with this stuff. You may feel overwhelmed just from the first section if you have absolutely no experience/idea what stock options are.
