Review: "A breath of fresh air for options traders. Most options books are textbook in nature. Schaeffer cuts right to the chase and provides solid ideas on how to use options effectively for both conservative and trading-oriented investors. It's innovative and fresh. Get a copy."

Summary: Lawrence G. McMillan, President, McMillan Analysis Corp.
Review: "Bernie Schaeffer's penchant for contrary investing is terrific, and his market calls on that strategy have been excellent. He shows how to apply contrary thinking--and many other types of 'expectational analysis'--to option strategies. All option traders should enjoy reading this book."

Summary: PAUL MACRAE MONTGOMERY, ANALYST, LEGG MASON WOOD WALKER INC.
Review: "HERCULE POIROT ONCE OBSERVED THAT 'THE METHODS OF DETECTION CHANGE, BUT THE CRIMES, THEY REMAIN THE SAME.' BERNIE SCHAEFFER HAS PROVED THIS BASIC TRUTH ANEW BY USING CONTRARY OPINION ANALYSIS BRILLIANTLY TO NAVIGATE A STOCK MARKET THAT HAS LEFT MOST OTHER 'CONTRARIANS' FOUNDERING ON THE ROCKS. THE INSIGHT HIS BOOK OFFERS INTO HOW HE HAS MANAGED THIS FEAT MAKES THE OPTION ADVISOR VERY TIMELY AS WELL AS VERY VALUABLE."

Summary: Very basic poor job for an options book
Review: Bernie really let himself down with this book. Very poor job. Basic stuff. Shame he triesto build a name. I still remember him touting DOW 11,000 in cassettesthat disappeared when we went to 7,500. An opinion for every season.Intended to sell his poor performing newsletters.

Summary: Good advise for readers

Summary: Bernie Hides from his Audience
Review: I agree totally with the comments about this book. Bernie Scheffer has missed his speaking events to apparently avoid embarrassing meetings with his public to explain his newsletters losing trades. Good in theory, lose money following his newsletter. The book is not worthy to read, but if you buy his newletter and follow his recommandations, you will surely lose money quickly. That is my experience.

Review: I bought the book and found nothing of value except his analysis of put-call ratios. I noted that Forbes in 2001 ranked his 2000 newsletter performance as being the worst with D rankings for performance Poor Bernie.
