Product Description
Options trading offers unparalleled opportunity for rapid profit, but most options guides are difficult to understand and even harder to use successfully. Not this one. Options Made Easy has earned a worldwide reputation for simplicity, clarity, and practical value. In this thoroughly revamped Second Edition, renowned options trader Guy Cohen delivers even more of what makes this book so valuable: better graphics for easy visual learning, updated hands-on examples that walk step by step through real trades, and the clearest plain-English explanations of trading techniques you'll find anywhere. Unlike its competitors, Options Made Easy, Second Edition shows you how to design your own trading plan for high probability trades and consistent profits, offering proven strategies you can begin using right now. Best of all, Cohen teaches through easy-to-understand charts and graphs, not complicated math! Coverage includes: filtering for moving stocks; selecting the right strategy for each situation; bull call and put spreads; covered calls; straddle/strangle; volatility and sideways strategies; trading and investing psychology; and much more. This edition also contains a completely revamped introduction to the Greeks-- the standard sensitivities to options risk characteristics that every trader must know.

 Not well proofread October 28, 2008
James D. Cook (Encinitas, CA USA)
This book is clear and easy to read. Unfortunately, the editor was incompetent in financials or the author didn't take the time to review his work carefully. Some of the comments on analysis are clearly worded wrongly; however, the content is so strong and purpose of this book is so well realized in general, that it is easy to recommend it as a "dummy's" book to any person who already has a good grasp of finance - or wait for the next edition.
Good product, good buying experience. October 14, 2008

I bought this book thinking that I will learn to invest in stock options (as I dont even know O of options). This book defeated me completely. What I was looking for a book which will say "Sam is thinking of investing options he chooses some company XYZ, He sees that current stock price is 50 dollars. How can he go about making a call or put. What is the strict price he shd think. Who decides the premium price. What does bid / ask prices are. What sort of choices does he has. (Day to day story of someone investing in options).
Simply put the book shd have taught options step by step. Instead of repeatedly saying "option is a right but not an obligation ..." (ok this may be necessary).

This book is very well written, clearly illustrated. It covers all the basics you need to know about option and some most popular strategies. Although it does not include those fancy strategies, IMAO, if you can not make money on these most popular ones (covered option, spreads, strangle and straddle, etc.), probably you won't make money on those fancier ones either. More energy should be spent on market reading and equity analysis, instead of wasting time on calculate fancy combination.
On the other hand, this book also covers FA / TA essentials, trading psychology, money management, which makes it a complete book for trading, not just an option facts book.
