5.0 out of 5 stars
Good introductory book with plenty of examples.,
By Steven Gould (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How the Options Markets Work (New York Institute of Finance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Good introductory book with plenty of examples. Good layout too. Many different options trading techniques are discussed, each with an indication of how risky it is. It even suggests leaving some of the more advanced techniques to the professionals, or more experienced traders - good advice.

Finally an option book to be proud of,
This review is from: How the Options Markets Work (New York Institute of Finance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Mr. Walker is clear and concise in his depiction of how the options markets work. He details various strategies and makes options investing understandable to those new to it.In my 11 years as a futures investor, broker, and author, I have never seen someone with as much grasp of options investing as Mr.Walker and have the capability to explain it.
