Options Mentoring

Brooks is my daughter

 

No, this Brooks is not his daughter.

Please do not tell me that I am a miserable idiot for spending money on info that I can find for free in option books.

I am looking for a good option seminar / mentoring and I don't mind paying for it.

I am considering signing up for a live options seminar by John Summa, 1 day for $ 900.

Anyone knows anything about him ?

Please reply to my post ONLY if you have had any experience with him or the services he provides.

Thank You very much

I could've sworn it was hlpsg who started this thread.

 

Did anyone watch the CBOE webinar yesterday (Jan 24th) put on by Steve Lentz? I was wondering what others thought.

 

Cody,

what is the link to his webinar? What did he speak about?
Who is that guy? I think I may have heard him speaking on IB
webinar series.

I like to watch people speak. Sometimes it says something different compared to books. And sometimes,it gets me to
discover something new just because the speaker said something
on which I had a different perspective.

But I do not like author who give dry things. I cannot stand listening/watching them. A book that I find really dry
is the book by McMillan. I will be surprised if that guy makes in
money in trading at all. People may buy it everyone buy it or
to decorate their shlf. But frankly, I want that guy to know that
there is no juice in his book. He must have a dry brain.

 

You must be referring to "Options As a Strategic Advantage".

Try "McMillan on Options", it's more digestible.

If you think McMillan is dry, try Natenberg's "Option Pricing & Volatility" ...

I personally do not think it is dry. Just take is slower. Then again,I like math.

 

Steve is from OptionVue

 

Math in MacMillan? Are you kidding me. I love math. A math book is a book in which there are only theorems and lemmas, and I love theorems and lemmas. I wish he wrote it that way.

He writes ideas in words (not math), and what he says contains no insight, just description of tools. Dry, more dry than a desert.
I also read another of his books (new insights on covered calls or
something like that). The only insight is the word in the title of the book (and should be in singualr form), and there is better than CC. CC is a "loser" in my view (You earn a little in bull markets and lose a lot in bear markets). It is wrong headed.

Tell me just one insight you got from those books of his?
He is not an expert, but just someone who wrote books. And if his book is that good, why does he write other books (that contain nothing new, worst the may deviate people from the right path? Everyone can write books.

The question is: could one write original and insightful books!
