Forgot to mention "OPTIONS:Essential Concepts and Trading Strategies" by The Options Institute/Business One Irwin. It's a good read for someone who's past newbie status but doesn't want to get buried by something highly technical and sophisticated. That's for later
How about the Samir Elias book, Generate Thousands. Anybody read it ? I am thinking about getting it. Most of the option books I have read have either been what you can get for free from CBOE, etc. or some over the top stuff that is nice to know but doesnt make you money. I do have MDW's Rookie's book and I liked it. There is also a book by Lee Lowel that has a couple of good chapters on some directional strategies.
LOL! Apparently he wrote another book in which he advised to hold stocks for the long time, right at the market top! Then he moved to something else.
Guess you're right, this book which came out in 2002: From the reviews, evidently it was about using covered calls as attested to by this reviewer that gave the book five stars:
I don't see this one recommended much anymore, but I thought it was, believe it or not, an interesting and fun book about option strategies. At least, fun for an options book! LEAPS, by Harrison Roth. http://www.amazon.com/reader/1556238193?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=sib_dp_pt
Here's a good one: "Options are a Hideous Bitch Goddess" i'll tell you when im through writing and publishing it
