Why This Book Was Written?
Hunting for a good beginner-level book on options trading can be a very frustrating endeavor. Many of the books that are labeled "introduction to..." or "...for beginners" are written by high-level brokers or academics who have an annoying habit of talking over their readers' heads and diving headfirst into Wall Street jargon without taking the time to properly explain the basics.
On the flip side, since options trading is such a fertile niche for new ideas, every John Doe and his brother has written a book on options trading, and, unfortunately, an enthusiastic options trader doesn't necessarily make a good writer. Advice from these writers can be not only confusing but also misleading and the results of following said advice can be alarming if not disastrous.
This book, however, was written with the goal of maximizing clarity and readability, all while providing an extensive look at the fundamentals of options trading. You should be more than ready to make your first few trades after reading this book.
