5.0 out of 5 stars A great primer for the new and the experienced, February 10, 2000

By

Mark A Rodman (Britain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Make Money With Stock Options: A Basic Guide for the Conservative Investor (Hardcover)

Being new to options trading, I read several books on the subject and would have to say that this book provides the easiest to read and understand explanation of the basics. It also promotes a conservative style of trading which assures the new trader will not kick off their options experience by some bad large, losing trades. While the book deals with the basics in a easy style, it also tackles more advanced techniques for those who progress quicker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great updated edition., October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Make Money With Stock Options: A Basic Guide for the Conservative Investor (Hardcover)

I have looked at the second edition of this book and can strongly recommend it. This is still the only book written for a general audience that give us 'little guys' what we need to make some money with options.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable and easy-to-understand primer, March 21, 2001

By

PAUL PAPAYOANOU (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Make Money With Stock Options: A Basic Guide for the Conservative Investor (Hardcover)

Especially in these volatile times in the stock market, Hecht's book is extremely valuable reading for investors. Using plain language, Hecht explains how investors can hedge and pursue less risky strategies with stock options. Those who have some familiarity to investing in the stock market will have no trouble understanding Hecht's presentation of what is often difficult material. His book makes it easy for conservative investors, and those who want to pursue less risky approaches, to make stock options a part of their investment strategy. Thanks to Hecht's book, stock options are now an integral part of my approach to the market, and I'm benefitting handsomely.
