  • Must Have for Any Serious Options Trader

    Fantastic book. I was looking for a dry but informative text book that was readable and this was it - little of the fluff that today's pompous traders seem addicted to putting in their own books. Many good examples in the book, illustrating key options strategy concepts. Of course, as this is the 5th edition, I know that it has withstood the test of time. My one gripe is that there needs to be an e-book version, this tome is far too heavy to lug around! (I'd really hope this isn't a 'money-grubbing' driver, but, alas, this is far too often the case with expensive books.)

  • It is the best

    As a newcomer to options, this 1,000 page tome is not fluff. McMillan can teach you the complete compendium of options knowledge. I graduated from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce.
