As a beginning commodity futures trader and options trader, I found this book extremely helpful. The first section goes through all the basics, giving definitions you need to know. The second section gets into using options. Yes there are some typographical errors, so what? My point is the information itself is very helpful for a beginner like myself. On each different option strategy the author states at what point in a market it could be useful, the risk, the potential profit, and then goes into an explanation of the strategy itself including graphs. I think anyone who is new to commodity options trading would find this a useful tool and extremely easy to read. I do recommend this book and plan on using it when developing my future trading strategies. It contains lots of information in an easy readable format.

This book is replete with typographical errors - even the words "call option" written as "can option" - numerous times in an options book ??? !!! Shoddy publication!

Years ago, Paul Newman took out an ad in the L.A. Times, apologizing for the film (and his performance in), "Paris Blues."

The apology was most necessary and appropriate....

Larry Spears and his publisher should do the same---not merely in the Times, but in every financial publication in America....

I have started this book six times and have never gotten past page 20. The typographical errors are beyond counting.... Even students in a remedial Community College writing course could do better editing....

Sadly, the title was exactly what I wanted. The book, however, is an insult to Financial Writing....
