1) Paperback Book Trading Options For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance)) by For Dummies. I wanted a book which would explain buying and selling options in a thorough way for someone who knew very little about options. This is not the book.

The author seems to have the intent to throw in as many complex terms without every explaining the simple things. Never once in this book is a walk through through on how to buy a call, how to sell the option, or on how to exercise the underlying contract. The same goes for simple puts.¤

2) Paperback Book Trading Options For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance)) by For Dummies. I wanted something that took me from 0 to 60 in a couple of hours, to explain options in plain english. This book goes from 20 to 120 then back to 40 and up to 80 then back to 10, very poorly constructed and organized.

(My review for Dummies: This book is difficult to follow, jumps around a lot, and rarely satisfies the curiousity at hand)¤

3) Paperback Book Trading Options For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance)) by For Dummies. What this book lacks in detail, it makes in subject completeness.

There are dozens and dozens of great websites out there describing options and trading strategies in far better depth and completeness than this book. So, if you´re looking for complex spreads or techniques, this book will not satisfy you.

However, online searches are so saturated in trading strategies that it´s actually difficult to become aware of real world transactional details (like, "who are the market makers? how does assignment work?"). this book nicely wraps up those "loose ends" that are hardly ever mentioned on your favorite search engine.¤
