Tough Stuff But Worth The Effort November 24, 2007

This is a review for the non-professional investor or for the new full time investor who is considering a possible 2nd career or full time activity with their personal funds.

As an individual investor for over 30 years, I thought I knew the ropes about Options and Stocks. The first 94 pages opened my eyes to what I did not know! These pages alone have changed my investment strategy profoundly and for the better.

This is a best of breed book. It’s pithy and precise. It’s not a breezy read. But the good news is that it’s comprehendable to the non-professional. I was delighted with excellent concept presentations, examples, and well defined terminology.

In exchange for the effort of reading and re-reading - yes plowing through it — you are rewarded with the techniques of the pros. You’ll see options investing in a very different and profitable way.

You might consider investing your time an money in this book before plunging thousands of dollars into “investor education” which is marketed so aggressively today. Once you know the fundamentals that this book provides, you’ll be in a better position to assess the value of these other alternatives.

I can’t give this book enough praise.
