I bought the top 5 options books from Amazon and returned 3 of the 5. I kept Fontanills and McMillan as the combination of the two books enabled me to grasp all I needed to know.

This books falls short for telling the practical application of how to get started. Wasted too much time on unecessary tuition.

If you are going to buy one book on options this is not it:

1.If you are a beginner buy Michael C. Thomsett. 2.If you want a practical how to get started and make money in options guide then buy Fontanills 3.If you want all the math and theory buy McMillan's Strategic.

Pass on this book.

A simple, no frills explanation of options trading including calls, puts, call and put spreads, combinations, calendar spreads, repair strategies and LEAPS. A few simple techniques can increase your trading profits 20% per year or more. Sell puts against long stock positions. Hedge current investments to protect accumulated profits. Never worry about "bear markets" --- make money going up or down. This book is written in textbook fashion and should be read accordingly. No nonsense or get rich quick schemes here

I've purchased several books on trading options and this one is by far the superior book. It offers practical guidelines for choosing a strategy and outlines spreadsheet calculations you can set up to help you evaluate a trade. It also discusses many more topics than other books I've read, such as repair strategies. If you're going to buy one options book, this is it!

With a dizzying array to choose from, traders new to options are often mystified when it comes to picking a fundamental primer. Options: A Personal Seminar is easily the best of the NYIF seminar series and a solid source of information. With detailed descriptions of option strategies and concepts from the simple to the complex, it is highly understandable yet comprehensive. This book is a great place to start an options education.

This is an excellent teaching tool by an author who knows how to explain complicated subject matter in a consise, reasonably easy-to-understand manner.

i was extremely pleased with this book. it has taken a while for all of the material to be understood, but overall, it is the best book i have found to explain options trading and strategy. i am looking for the other books fullman wrote in his series. they are not available, as far as i can tell on amazon.
