Sure-Thing Options Trading: A Money-Making Guide to the New Listed Stock and Commodity Options Markets

Rating:
Summary: This book is very interesting and readable.
Review: A concise, useful, and comprehensive overview of futures trading. It was quite appropriate for a beginner.

Rating:
Summary: Best of the multiple options books I have read.
Review: Of the ten + options books that I have read, this was my first, and it is the best. I still refer to it often. Most of the other books are either too technical or too simplistic. This engages the reader with practical examples and descriptions of the types of trades that the novice to intermediate investor will use most. I heartily recommend it.

Summary: Top of the Class
Review: This book is intended (more or less) for a person beginning in options. Its no "walk in the woods" but considering the abstruseness of both the subject and the other books on the topic I have scanned, it's near the top of the class. I think, it may also be somewhat more understandable than the Option Industry Council's - Option's Toolbox CD. This whole area has been poorly explained to the beginner for the most part, which is why options are not much more widely used despite their potential for leverage and risk reduction.
