My most memorable experience trading Options goes 14 years back when I bought $1000 worth of RMBS Call Optionsat $0.10 ahead of a Patent dispute Ruling in a US court. A favorable decision shot the value of those options to $1.20turning my $1000 investment into $12,000 which I readily cashed out.The story is true, but overtime I learned the hard way how r-i-s-k-y trading anything in the Stock market is. More than 50%of the trades I made in Options over the years either expired worthless or at a loss and overall I broke even.I only bought and sold options directly, never used them in any of the more elaborate ways explained in the book.Having a full time job, I never had much time to engage more fully in Options and I switched to almost exclusively investing directlyin Stocks. Yet, I always enjoy reading good books on Options Trading for beginners.I commend the author for repeatedly reminding the readers of the risks associated with investing in general, and Options in particular.Some 75-90% of Option traders lose money on an annual basis. The consistent big winners are Market Makers and financial institutions.You must therefor arm yourself with good understanding of the subject matter and this book does a very good job for beginners oreven for more experienced Options Traders.It uses actual Companies, Graphs, and Price-quotes to demonstrate Option trades of various flavors quite clearly.I think it also builds a good reputation for itself by recommending other sources and classic books on Options and a complete listof the sources it relies on. A basic glossary of terms at the beginning and a longer one at the end of the book add to its clarity.
Options Trading: Quickstart Guide is like many of the books by this publisher, a quick no nonsense primer with a lot of information packed into an easy to read book. Unlike other books in the Quickstart series, this one does not have the table of contents links up in the kindle interface. A moderate drawback as I tend to go there in order to make quick jumps around in the text. There is still a table of contents, it's just at the beginning of the book in hyperlink format. So if you want to jump around, you'll first have to go there and then jump from that to what you are looking for.The six chapters in this book are:Chapter 1 - Options BasicsChapter 2 - Call and Put Options - Trading FundamentalsChapter 3 - A Sound Options Strategy for a BeginnerChapter 4 - Key Influencers On the Price of OptionsChapter 5 - Win at Options By Speaking GreekChapter 6 - Popular Options StrategiesPlus of course an introduction and conclusions section as well as a glossary and references.Even though I worked in finances I was never really knowledgeable on options. It was a mostly vague topic to me. I was more knowledgeable in other types of stocks. Options can be risky so it good to start educating yourself about them if you are open to different types of ways of trading. There are different chapters that go from introduction to addressing the calls and puts in a simple manner. There are also diagrams and pictures that explain the steps to you which is really useful for a beginner. There are also useful links included should you want to further educate yourself on how to go about buying and selling options and which markets to go to. There is also a glossary of terms included towards the end.
