2.0 out of 5 stars Dust off your Ph.d and Try to Decipher the Options Market, May 21, 2001

By	M. B. Scheinbaum (Angel fire, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An executive I respect felt that this book by one of his old professors would give great insight to Foreign Currency Option Stategies. As more of a fundamental analyst than a technician I was mostly lost. I struggled through a master's and most of a doctorate, but statistics was always a pain. Beware that advanced mathematical underpinnings are crucial to the enjoyment of the book. For the amateur who wants to understand why rocket scientists (for real) are hired from Cal Poly and MIT to run Wall Street trading programs, we;;, just keep this book near your computer when you think your day trading will beat the pros.
