Study Guide for Options as a Strategic Investment 5th Edition Paperback – Illustrated, August 7, 2012

For me it's useful because it prompts me to do the reading. I tend to jump around chapters and skim, but using the study guide I find myself going back and rereading certain chapters. I think it helps reinforce the subject. Worth it.

In an era when our Facebook feeds and radio streams are cluttered with one options trick, trainer or "foolproof" system, McMillan's book offers a complete education on options markets. He shows the reader not only "How" the markets work as they do, but the "Why" as well. The book starts with the simple and evolves to the highly complex, never assuming anything on the part of the reader, explaining every concept in detail. If you want to trade options, buy the book. Pro tip: Buy the workbook, too.

Simple review... not so simple book. BUT... that's a good thing! This book covers EVERYTHING... I recommend the workbook if you are using this book to learn the detailed ropes of options.

It is clearly that this book contains all the informations for options trading except technical analysis. The first times of my options trading ,I read this book and ...I couldn't finjsh it in ine months. i end up go in to the options seminars and then come again to read and I understand it .I think it is not for a newbie at all buy... the newbie should have it , atleast for refences when you have a questions about options , you could come back to solve it .

Covers everything about Options, even a lot stuff you did not want to know but need to know. At around One Thousand pages this is no lite read and should not be taken as such . If you are wanting to trade Options and be successful then this book is must read period. The dust jacket on this book is the biggest pain in the ---- ever throw it away.

I'm an experienced options trader, but also certain I'll learn a lot from this book. The 50-page chapter on covered call writing alone really opened my eyes. The study guide is a great aid (as of chapter 2). However, I found an error in the answer key. On page 14, G should be 3 and H should be 8. I reported this to the publisher but also thought I'd mention it here for other buyers.

This book is only question and answers. There is not any text to read even though it tells you to read the lesson. How can you answer the questions without any lesson to study. You would have to know everything about option trading already.

I'm trying to learn about options trading and I spent way too much money on this, especially since it's useless without the actual material.The quality of the book seems cheap. The paper is that brown stuff that feels fuzzy and tears easily. The pages are wavey, like it was stored in a humid environment or something.
