Options Trading Books: Help!
So I've got a big interest in finance and I'm looking to start dabbling in options trading because it looks extremely sexy and appeals to my gambler mentality.
That being said, I don't want to put a dime in until I've done massive amounts of reading on the subject. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend some good books to me. Thanks guys. |

hull is the standard text, taleb might be better for a self-studyer.

Options as a strategic investment by Mcmillan could be helpful too.

hull is too general in scope. wont really teach you anything if you want to trade.

If you are a beginner and want to know the basics, I would read "options made easy" by Guy Cohen. It is a very easy to read book that breaks down the basics of option strategies with many clear concise examples. I have read the McCafferty book that is mentioned below and I found Cohen book more accessible.

[/ QUOTE ] if i had to buy a book on options trading, it wouldnt be hulls. the options coverage is weak, and nothing you cant learn for yourself after a couple of minutes on yahoo finance 101. the natenburg text covers everything that the hull text does, plus more. its also written with trading in mind. |
