Rating:  Summary: boring read Review: this book is sooo boring.It reads like a vcr instruction manual.For a REALLY useful book on options,try guy cohen`s "options made easy". You won`t regret it.
Rating:  Summary: Good Introduction To Options Review: This is a good first step primer for those that are unfamiliar with options. It really attempts to break down the vocabulary for the lay person to understand the concepts.Where it fails is no fault of its own. With the addition of security futures and single stock futures, many of the strategies of picking market direction and synthetics are not as valuable. In order to get most out of a book like this you need to have a second book ... that explains how futures and options can work in tandem.
Rating:  Summary: Very repetitive Review: Thomsett provides the necessary information, but it requires great patience to absorb it all. He repeats himself constantly, as if the goal were to stretch the number of pages in the book. After reading this book, I found another book that provided all I needed to know to get started with options. It's concise and easily understood. Read the following and be ready to make some money using options: The Short Book on Options: A Conservative Strategy for the Buy and Hold Investor
