When I first saw this book, honestly, I thought this was going to be one of those 'We unlock the magic secrets of investing in market' mega-hype kind of books. I've read a number of books on options that are twice as long as this one is, not nearly as brightly colored (options books have to be drably colored because the subject is complex and not too exciting, right?) and deal much more with the theory of options rather than strategies. If the book doesn't devote three chapters to Black-Scholes how good can it be?As it turns out it can be very good.Before buying it I kept looking back at it as I probably understand about as much of the theory of options as most mere mortals can but expanding my arsenal of options strategies is where I could use some more work. Most books stress theory and not the daily application of it. I finally decided that even if I get one good tip that is profitable in time it will pay for the book many times over.After buying and reading this book I wish it had been one of the first options books I'd read. I think it was a year after reading my first book before I ever entered a trade because that book made me think I needed to be able to solve for any variable in the options pricing model before I should ever *consider* placing a trade. I was pretty intimidated by options. In his book though, Don mentions things that need to be mentioned but not necessarily stressed, stresses things that need to be stressed and speaks in the language of traders and investors, not theoretical statisticians. His explanation of delta - how to calculate it and how to use it in trades - is one of the simplest I've seen.
