Summary: If you want to learn options, Doctor J is the man!
Review: A friend told me, "If you want to learn options, Doctor J is the man!" I was doubtful, but my friend was right, this guy really knows his stuff. The book offered several chapters on investing with less risk and that was very much appreciated after the year I've had! I've used the bull call spread several times and intend to use other strategies as I become more accustomed to investing with options. I was happy to discover that this really isn't as tough as I thought and my investment account reflects that. I had never read any other option related book, so I can't compare Doctor J's writing to any other investment author, but I have recommended the book, just as my friend recommended it to me.

Summary: You've got to be kidding...
Review: As time passes, so must the sharpness of a football player's memory. Seems to have had too many head-on collisions in those heady days as a mighty Chicago Bear, because he cannot relate any meaningful trading techniques in this tome.There is no way he makes money trading with the stuff he leaves in this book. I'd say one of his staff half-hearted this one. There is more self-serving promotion than educational content 'tween these covers. Fortunately a friend of mine gave the book to me... I would not waste my time, let alone my money.

Summary: Friends,family only giving 5 stars.
Review: Did you hear about when Amazon accidentally uncovered the identities of some of the reviewers and it was discovered that a lot of Authors were giving their own books numerous 5 stars reviews?This book in my opinion is a classical example of that,the book has no structure,no organisation.The author blows his trumpet a lot about his farcical NFL career (who cares).It is truly an awful book on options and I would be willing to give my copy away for free.I would give it 0 stars if Amazon would have given me that option,buyer beware.

Summary: You've got to be kidding...
Review: I am owner/manager of a luxury car dealership in Northern California. I`ve seen the dot com mania send stocks to the moon, only to crash back down to earth. One week I`m selling Porsches to a paper millionaire, the next month I`m buying the car back from repo. Because of that experience, I`m a grind it out sort of investor, not day trader. Since I invest for the long-term, I didn`t know if options were for me, but Jon Najarian`s book changed my mind. I use several of the tactics outlined in the book "How I Trade Options" and am happy to say they`ve worked just as advertised. I especially liked the chapter on LEAPS and now almost exclusively invest with these securities. I can`t watch my portfolio throughout the day, but LEAPs help me cut my exposure to things I didn`t anticipate, while leaving me exposed to the upside. I think anyone that seriously wants to limit risk should read this book and use these strategies.

Summary: Great How- to Invest Book
Review: I attended a Discover Card conference in Chicago on July 26th. Mr. Najarian, or Doctor J was the featured financial speaker and he was fabulous! I had to go buy his book and I loved it! Not only was he a compelling speaker, but his down-to-earth style made the book fun to read and very thought provoking. I would recommend it to anyone, at any level of investing.

Summary: What a terrible book
Review: I bought this book and shall return it. All hype how great he is. Wow what an ego this guy has. Only claim to fame is that he played "B" grade football. Chicago Tribune told the truth about this guy. As for options, he hardly trades any more. PR of Jon Najarian is a full time job and strutting around in his trading jacket while others do the work. I heard this guy speak at a trade show. Lousy. I shall stick with the option masters McMillan and Fontanills not a wanna bee like Dr. J (he wanted to be his Dad who is a Doctor but could not get through Medical School)

Summary: How I Trade Options (Wiley Online Trading for a Living)
Review: I found Mr. Najarian's work both entertaining and stimulating. He chronicles his journey from pro football linebacker to market maker that kept me turning the pages. This book isn't a "look how great I am", but seemed an honest effort to educate me, as to how options could help me make money, even as a retail investor. I would say Doctor J, (as he is apparently known on the trading floor) accomplished the goal of educating me, a novice option investor. This was not a book filled with charts or other superfluous material, but rather a concise manuscript packed with stategies. Mr. Najarian spent chapter after chapter outlining bullish and bearish stategies. Virtually every strategy was accomplished by an anecdote from his lengthy trading career. For me, this made the reading much easier, more entertaining and greatly enhanced my enjoyment and learning. I recommend How I Trade Options to anyone that wants to begin trading options, or manage their money more effectively.

Summary: Intermediate to Advanced Book
Review: If you already understand basic options, then this book will add the finishing touches to get to another profitable and consistent level. Ignore the bio and personal commentary and skip to methodology or "how too." There is substance to the work if you can read between the lines.
The main thesis is like poker there are "tells" as to when the stock will move and to what price. The market specialist or maker is unfettered in making a 2 sided market, so must hedge in the underlying stock or options markets. This explains the basis for the tell and has been DRJ's secret. Not a bad indicator as this explains the underlying movements.

Summary: The second best book on the subject
Review: Jon Najarian has written the second book I would purchase as an option trader. The first would be a basic book on Options. No matter what your experience level or interst level this is a must read. The Author has the experience and broad view of the subject to allow the reader to benefit from both. He takes you through the history of the options markets to the floor to modern trading and strategies. He shares his thoughts on the future of the options markets and the effect of computures on trading. If there is a weakness, it is that trading seems easy. No doubt for him it is. I have more highlighter and notes in this book than many of the hundreds I've read. Buy it.
