Option Talk: Puts and Calls for the Series 7 [Perfect Paperback]

Daniel Marrs (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 19, 2005

Option Talk shows how to successfully complete options questions prospective stockbrokers face on their licensing exam, the FINRA Series 7. The book uses conversational tones as it covers options, step-by-step. Each idea is illustrated. Tools are developed which allow the Series 7 candidate to remove all guesswork in arriving at correct options test question answers. Although the book focuses on core competencies required to pass the licensing exam, its easy to read style will provide a potential options investor with a firm knowledge of how options strategies work and why. The book offers no timing or trading models, focusing instead on the characteristics, risks, potential returns, breakevens, applications, etc. of various strategies. Recommended for anyone who needs to take the Series 7, or for prospective options traders who want a better understanding of the core workings and parameters of listed options.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Your conversational style of writing is such a relief after reading dry textbooks! I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone taking the 7 or who plans to use options. --Meagan S., Registered Rep

Just a short note to say thank you for helping me pass the Series 7 test. I was really having a difficult time breaking through a mind block that I had about puts and calls until I read Option Talk. Your approach to understanding them was great...simply put, it was just plain talk. I passed and I attribute much of my passing to reading your book --D. Olson, Registered Rep in California

Thank you! I passed the Series 7 exam on the first try. I know that my success was greatly assisted by all I learned reading the Option Talk book that you wrote. The visual aids were a tremendous help. By drawing out the chart and using Sir Bip I was able to score much higher on the options portion of the exam. I would highly recommend this book to anyone taking the Series 7 exam. --R. Webster, Registered Rep
