Mr. McCafferty's book seeks to provide a comprehensive review of options trading, and it is filled with what could be helpful and illustrative examples. Unfortunately, it suffers from a lack of editing. This means, for instance, that many of the examples appear to have incorrect math, as compared to the written description of how they are supposed to work. This can leave the reader confused as to which is correct.

Similarly, because the details of the basic groundwork are partly contradictory, the reader is left with less confidence as the book becomes more complex.

This is a great book for someone who is already comfortable with the basics of options, but if you are looking for an introductory text on options, try "Options for Dummies" or a similar book.

I don't know what the other reviewers were thinking. This is the best book I have read yet (and I have read quite a few) to give you a very clear understanding of the options market and how to play it. I highly recommend it as a great place to start if you ever thought about getting into it.

I read hundreds of books and never write reviews. This book is so poorly written that I was compelled to write this review.

If you just read the first 5 pages of the book, you will get an idea how poor a writer its author is. The first chapter is about basics of Options. However, even for someone like me who is experienced in stock trading, it was most confusing.

I dont know how to get a refund for this aweful book but I will stay away from any books written by this author and its publisher for publsihing this junk.
