Rating: Summary: Good but many, many errors. Were the editors asleep? Review: The authors appear to know their subject well. I would recommend this as a beginner-to-intermediate introduction to fundamentals except for the numerous errors.Some errors are like "typos" such as 6 instead of 60, some are more serious and subtle such as specifying a call when a put was meant, and some are fundamental structural problems with the book. For example, the Quiz answers don't match the chapters to which they purportedly provide answers, and in some cases only some questions are answered anyway. The errors are so numerous, and some of a type that they won't be caught by the average beginner, that it might be dangerous for a beginner to rely on this book as a reference or as an only introduction to options. I'd really like to have a completely "cleaned up" copy, as I think that could make this the best introduction that I'm aware of.
Rating: Summary: The best options book written. Review: There are a few other good books on the subject of options trading (most notably those written by McMillan and Natenberg) but none offers such complete knowledge combined with the real world perspective of a floor trader. All the information here is USEFUL and PRACTICAL! This is by far the best book on options trading ever written. It's a must have for any serious investor.
