There should be a sequel, something like

'Getting Started in Options' is just that

This is a book full of examples to help describe the 'Options' trading. Although the concept of option trading is somewhat simple, but the terminology used can be confusing. After listening to this audio book, I'm looking to purchase the printed version as well in order to see the examples and highlight the sections that I'll need to use as a reference. I highly recommend this book, preferably the printed version.

"where's the beef"?

This thing JUST gets started (I know the name) but still...it has nothing except a very basic intro to optoins. It was worth the 7.00 however...but look elsewhere if you already know even the most basic about options.

wonderful recource

This book is a wonderful recource for beginners in the stock option world. It acurately defines the option language. It also takes all the fear and mystisim out of options. I read the book a month ago, and have increased my returns already! I'm very happy with this book & have shared it with my close friends.
