I just this moment received my copy of "Options as a Strategic Investment". It has been highly recommended by people I respect. I'm not sure how easy to read it will be though. 882p. amazon.com

"Can someone recommend me an easy to read book on options? Thanks." ================ Once you get an understanding of the basics of calls vs. puts and buying vs. selling and time value, you'll learn a lot more paper trading that you ever will reading a book, imo. The real world and theory are often at odds and you'll never get any feel for that by reading a book. I went through a couple books and never learned anything until my money was on the line. The CBOT used to have a free video tape that covered the essentials - check their web site (www.cbot.com) for a phone number. It's a good start and may save you some of the $$ you'd have spent elsewhere.

Can someone recommend me an easy to read book on options? Thanks. The bible for options trading is called Options as a Strategic Investment. You can search amazon.com under this title (I can't recall the author's name). You have to have this book if you are going to trade options. Gary Korn
