Author’s Introduction:
Option trading is one of the greatest games on earth! You can be a two-dollar investor, betting on the action of stocks, the markets, futures and/or commodities, or you can be the casino or a legalized bookie, taking the bets instead of making the bets. You pick the role and have the fun and profit. With options, gains of over 1000% are not unusual, and you can design strategies that will win up to 90% of the time. Better yet, options are an excellent investment tool that gives you much more flexibility, reduces your risks and increases your income in the investment markets. Once properly learning to use options, you will use this tool in your investment portfolio for the rest of your life.
However, many novice option traders, as they start trading, encounter many disappointments and issues in the options mar-kets and leave with a bitter taste, for they have unrealistic expec-tations and are not equipped to compete in this game. This book will help the novice option traders as well as the experienced op-tion traders become better equipped to stay in the game and compete successfully.
