The Bible of Options Strategies: The Definitive Guide for Practical Trading Strategies55 reviews
Guy Cohen
FT Press, 2005
Bible of Options Strategies
It is hard to find a book that shows you the different ways to trade options in combination as well as the risks, rewards, and special considerations of each one. It is not a long tutorial but rather a set of logical groupings of related types of trades to choose between for a specific situation. It is more like a recipe book so you can quickly look up the the types of options that are good ...

Option Volatility & Pricing: Advanced Trading Strategies and Techniques66 reviews
Sheldon Natenberg
McGraw-Hill, 1994
Bible for Options Traders
This book is best understood by options traders, or clerks training to become traders. It is hard for all the concepts to sink in without getting your hands dirty on a trading floor. I was a floor trader at the CBOE for 4 years. At a MINIMUM, the reader should have access to a live stock options quote feed and follow an option tree for a stock. Some concepts will not sink in at first and ...

Lee Lowell
Wiley, 2009
Practical
I have been trading options for a while and read at least a dozen different books on them. This particular one was simply practical and honest!! I say honest because the author shared actual and practical techniques that stood the test of time in terms of probabilities in the trader's favor. In addition to the practicality, the compactness of the material simplifies the understanding of such ...

Trading Options at Expiration: Strategies and Models for Winning the Endgame 16 reviews
Jeff Augen
FT Press, 2009
my favorite
I found the book difficult to understand, but then I realized it is the subject, not the writing, that is hard. The author does a remarkable job of explaining his approach. I would rate this the best book on trading I have found in years.

The Complete Guide to Option Selling, Second Edition12 reviews
James Cordier, Michael Gross
McGraw-Hill, 2009
Ignore the bad reviews
I picked the first edition of this book while browsing a chain bookstore. I could tell that it was written clearly in a no-nonsense style, so I bought it to read completely. This book is a detailed, thoughtful introduction to the dangers and rewards of selling naked puts in COMMODITIES not equities. Nevertheless, the parameters of risk that the author uses (studying the market and stock well ...

Understanding Options27 reviews
Michael Sincere
McGraw-Hill, 2006
A step in the right direction
I think there are three prerequisites to writing a successful "how to": a structural (academic) knowledge, practical experience and, perhaps most important, a sincere desire to share. The combination of these elements puts "Understanding Options" in the "WOW" category.
Even though I recognized it was probably outside the scope of the book, I wanted a bit more in two sections: picking the ...

This is, beyond doubt, one of the best and most useful I've seen.

Robert Ludlum's The Paris Option (Premium Edition): A Covert-One Novel 46 reviews
Robert Ludlum, Gayle Lynds
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2010
A no-stop entertaining thriller
I finally bought my first Ludlum book, it ended up to be written by Lynds but it's no problem.. she's got skills. What I love about this book is the rhythm, it's so fast, the story is very entertaining, it's all about action and the characters are good. But on one thing I have to agree with the critics: the whole DNA computer story is non-sense, this supercomputer it's more fantasy than anything ...

Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond111 reviews
Gene Kranz
Simon & Schuster, 2009
Great account of the event
We actually bought this book as a gift for my father-in-law who was in the USAF during this time. We had the opportunity to hear Gene Krantz speak at an event recently, and were intrigued by his book. The combination of the book and hearing him live really gave an amazing account of the event - many more details than we had ever heard before.
