5.0 out of 5 stars This has opened up some new ways fro me to hedge in this volatile market., January 27, 2006

Having most of my money in 401k's and in my company stocks I have accumulated over the years, I have found much value in options to protect myself. Until I saw this I knew the meanings of options but did not understand the concepts of time decay and the types of spreads available for simple investors like me. This has opened up a whole new chapter in my style of investing and I can now sleep better knowing I have hedges protecting my major assets. Thank you Mr. Frey!!

This is a good beginning to stock option trading. It turns on the light since it is clearly organized and presented. It explains what is a put and a call and the strategy for why you would buy or sell each....in other words is your strategy for the particular underlying stock a bearish or bullish strategy. It does a decent job of explaining the time sensitivity of an option and the leverage feature vs. stock. The next step in the process would be to gain an explaination of the more advanced strategies such as chokes, straddles, diagonal spreads, etc.

I have been frustrated with the books I have been looking at that I have purchased on Amazon but this video and some others have shed new light on the subject and now I am making wiser trades with a higher chance of success than before watching this. Material was relevant for my needs and it taught me some for an hour and a half presantation.
