5.0 out of 5 stars Very Powerful Presentation by an experienced wall street options expert, March 2, 2006

This review is from: Option Spreads Made Easy (DVD)

This has been most helpful of the option videos I've seen since I was looking to learn specifically about spreads. It changed my whole way of thinking about options and now I am making much safer trades with a higher probability of success unlike before watching this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid!! Its way cheaper to buy news papers if you need to burn something, April 9, 2011

This review is from: Option Spreads Made Easy (DVD)

Wow! This book is just like a high volatility option; full of hot air!
The title says "Options Spreads Made Easy" well, they were not kidding, this is more like "Spreads for the Brain Dead" Here is why; First, if I buy a book about a specific subject, I expect it to be well, somewhat specific maybe? I wanted at least some pointers on how to think spreads, tips on entering and exiting positions, how to fix a spread gone wrong, how to best pick the strike spread, or how much in or out of the money.

Well if your expectations are like mine, look somewhere else. I will show you where to find the "Juicy" content in this book:

Pages 1 - 52: Very general options theory. This is all over the web.
Pages 53 - 65: Ridiculously simple. You read about Bull Call, Bear Call, Bull Put, Bear Put, Ratios, Short/Long Straddles, Short/Long Strangles, Calendars. All of them in twelve pages!!!! It gets worse...
Pages 85 - 107: Chapter titled "Spreads For Different Markets" This is where the really deep stuff is. Get this, thirty (as in 30) spread and non-spread strategies are covered in 22 pages. Are you kidding me? That's a whopping 0.73 strategies per page.
Appendix B: The Black-Scholes Formula which, since we use it every day, I must tattoo on the palm of my hand.
Pages 141 - 165+ Glossary, Index and adds too.

The DVD has some sample of risk/reward charts and general talk, nothing juicy here. Again all this is already out there for free.

Avoid!! Its way cheaper to buy news papers if you need to burn something.

New to Options - See all my reviews

This review is from: Option Spreads Made Easy (DVD)

If you are new to options I do NOT recommend this DVD. It moves very fast and at the end of the DVD I had no practical information that might assist me in trading options.
