Great book for the price August 7, 2008
This is a very good beginners book on options. It explains in simple terms a very complex subject. I read several books before this one. After I read this book, I wished I had read this one first. The price is right too.
Everyone should read this book! August 1, 2008
Michael Sincere did a fine job writing this book so that anyone who has no experience with options is able to comprehend the topic with ease, even those who are not good at mathematics and numbers. He briefly explains calls, puts, how to buy, how to sell options, and he even discusses advanced options strategies such as spreads and straddles.
Highly Recommended !! May 8, 2008

Reading a book on Options Trading is usually a daunting task. While it is true that statistical probabilities, The Greeks and mathematically determining an overpriced or underpriced option all play a part in option trading, in the beginning, this often confuses and intimidates a novice.
Michael Sinceres' book is different. He leaves the mathematics alone. In very simple language, Sincere walks you through the four basic option trades:
1. The Covered Call.
2. Buying a Call.
3. Buying a Put.
4. Selling a Put.
What you may not know is that most brokerages will limit a beginning option traders to these 4 trades anyway.
As if he were sitting at your kitchen table, Sincere actually takes you step- by-step, through each trade. No, this is not a complete treatise on option trading but it is a very good start.
It is true that the key to option success is choosing the right underlying stock. If you have never bought a stock, his book on stock trading would be a better choice. It is also true that options are a form of gambling and anyone who says their "system" guarantees success is probably selling something very expensive.
If you have experienced trading stocks and are looking for your first option book, this would be the one I'd recommend.

This book is short, very well written, and to the point. While it does not cover all options in detail, it does cover the more commonly used ones very well.
Anyone with some financial knowledge will get a great lesson in understanding options.
Highly recommended for the starters.
