VERY HANDS ON AND INFORMATIVE

If you can get past the format of the book, which is a fictional tale of a retiired professor teaching a Florida community about option investing, and apprecite the actual easy to apply formulas he gives you, then this is a must read.

He goes over everything that made hom successful with "safe" option investing in full detail.

1. Stock selection
2. Naked put selection,
3. Acceptable rates of return for covered calls based on
expiration period.


These are all spelled out explicitly with the formulas to calculate every variable, along with his stock screening criteria which could be applied for free on any financial web-site.

I read some reviews that implied he wrote the book to sell software. I do not think that is the case, as he laid out his formulas so clearly, that anyone could apply them to an EXCEL spreadsheet, along with stock screening criteria. His willingness to give you the formulas and other variables required to succeed are unique to the investing, especially options education, industry.

FOr the money, there is no better value.

Conservative option

A good read..the story-line is cute if you dont take it too seriously...Its like reading a novel from a mathematician...it had some very good conservative ways of investing...very good for a novice/intermediate investor with options...

Don't waste your money

Please don't buy this book based on the title.

The book is 150 pages long and written (badly written) as a novel with only about 10 pages total devoted to options. Needless to say I'm sorely disappointed with this book.
