The Complete Option Player

Rating:
Summary: A very good option book
Review: If you are a fan of Lawrence McMillian and love to thread through pages of frivolous information, you probably won't enjoy this book.

The Complete Option Player is 46 chapters and 500 pages of powerful information. Once you begin reading, you won't want to put this book down.

You will find insider secrets and other advice that you will not find anywhere else.

Chapter 38 - Option pricing is probably the most important chapter in the book, especially for new traders. Trester also includes call and put option tables to assist the investor.

Overall, a very good book and a great supplement to Wall Street Money Machine #1 and #2. I would also recommend Wall Street Money Machine #4, which is all about option trading in addition to this book.

Summary: Hope you're not the visual type
Review: If you are brand new to options and you are not the visual type (there isn't a single graph in this book) and you like cute little cartoons, then this book is for you.

Most of this book focuses on various naked strategies which work great in certain markets, but can be instant death in others. Also, there is very limited information on resources to use in your research.

From a literary point, the flow of the book is quite good, so I could see someone reading it from cover-to-cover. If you are a self-help person, you'll love this book, but you will still have the same issue that after you finish it, you may feel better, but you aren't any smarter.

Go do some searches on the web for info. Optionetics.com, optionvue.com, and 21stCenturyOptionsEducation.com are all good places to start. _The Stock Market Course_ by Fontanills and Gentile (Optionetics) is great and for general trading info and an attitude adjustment, check out _Trading for a Living_ by Elder.

Happy Trading!

Summary: Too simple and selling newsletter
Review: This book is too simple and the goal is selling you the subscription service.

I subscribed to the newsletter service and lose money on every trades, the strategies did not work.

Summary: One of the best options books I have read
Review: This is one of the best options books I have read. Ken Trester
gives details of what situations to apply the strategies instead
of the usual boring options books that just describe the strat-
egies. His newsletter services are very good. I have tracked the
trades in his Put and Call Tactician newsletter and most of them
have performed admirably - he even recommended AAPL Put just
before the stock collapsed.

Summary: Misses the mark
Review: This was very disappointing. I bought this and his newsletter which lost lots of money. I wish I had stuck with other option experts than try this unknown Mr. Trester. Lives up at Tahoe financing a life style from selling his opinion.

The book is just a retelling of the simple option strategies that other authors have adequately covered. No vision and no new angle.

I have bought other books that were easy to understand and got to the point. I used the Amazon Top 10 option bestsellers to find the best books and have only been disappointed by this one. At least I can return it to Amazon for a credit and buy the right book next time.

Retire Mr. Trester. It is time.
