This review is from: 101 Option Trading Secrets (Paperback)

Absolutely primitive book.not good for a novice or a seasoned trader.Each page is used to advertise author's other products like newsletter,softwares etc.Wishing to return the book but shipment back from india is costly,so keeping it.

I thought this title would be great seeing as how it was the only options book wrapped in plastic on the shelf. It's just ok. The secrets are more like "nuggets" of information and indeed, there is a bit of product hype in every secret.

After reading a lot of technical options strategy books, what I like about this book is that it is to the point, does not repeat itself much, and offers good ideas and tips. This book is good for someone that already knows the basics of options. It describes a lot of options strategies and list which ones the author thinks is most powerful. The author lists the advantages and disadvantages of the different strategies. It is up to you to decide which strategy is best suited for your risk-to-reward zone and then do some more research. This book is like a list of 101 tips. If you do not like to read books with chapters that can be summarized into a few paragraphs then this book is for you.
