Getting Started in Options (Wiley Audio)

Rating:
Summary: Very informative.
Review: This book is an excellent guide to learning about options. As the title suggests, however, it will only teach you the basics; but even without covering advanced topics, this book is well worth its price.

Summary: One of the best options books out there!
Review: I have bought over a dozen books on option trading and this is the one that I refer to over and over again. If you want to learn about basic option strategies and concepts, this is the book to buy.

Summary: Start here if you are new to options or to review the basics
Review: I love the "Getting Started" series on Options, Stocks and Online Investing. Getting Started with Options led me through the basics of learning about Options and with the information I was able to do my first Option trades. I made a little money and lost a little money - but I felt as though I had basic knowledge to work with. One would still need to learn more to successfully trade options ~ but this is definately the place for a beginner to start. I highly recommend it!!

Summary: Dry, confusing book
Review: I dunno-- it's comprehensive, true, but the examples are boring and it's hard to focus. I still don't quite get the difference between selling and buying a put and selling and buying a call... or when to use each. The design of the book is great, the sidebars are lovely, but I wish a stronger editor had goosed it up a bit.

Summary: Excllent book for beginners
Review: Clarified many vague concepts in many other books. Clarified many problems of mine arose during the study. Good examples to help you check your understanding of options not merely examples. Beginner? Check this book. Easy access. Clear and plain English. Just as title, Getting started in options. Recommended!

Summary: True introduction from the basic terminology to strategy
Review: This book is truely an introduction to options trading. It assumes you know nothing and takes you from the very basics of terminology to an understandable overview of strategy. Even if you have never heard of a call or a put before, you will leave this book prepared to: - read more technical texts - evaluate whether options are right for you - speak intelligently about options - ask appropriate questions of options professionals

Rating:
Summary: Too much discussion around simple concepts
Review: It is a good book. But it's absolutely a very beginner's book. If someone is serious about option trading, further readings are definately required.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent beginner's book.
Review: I dont' know what some of you guys are talking about but I thought this is a great book for beginners. Not only it gave excellent examples on calls and puts, it was also very well organized. Great book for beginners.

Summary: Excellent Beginners Guide To Option Trading
Review: I've been a stock trader and MBA for ten+ years, and always considered options trading too risky. This book was a welcome academic refresher which explained options in every day terms. With-in one month, I made over 30% on my initial investment with limited down-side risk. No bells, no whistles, just the KISS (Keep It Strickly Simple) knowledge to make money in the market.
