I started studying options (and the market in general) in September. I've read: Random Walk Down Wall Street One up on Wall Street Getting Started in Options Swing Trading Stikky Stock Charts IBD - once a week Barron's - once a week thestreet.com Real Money - everyday schaeffer's - everyday Any suggestions are appericated. thanks.
Hi I suggest you read: Nathenberg, Option volatility and Pricing ISBN 1-55738-486-x I think there is concensus that this is the option bible that everyone should read. Also there is Mcmillan, Option as a strategic instrument: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/07...0?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance Personally I prefer Nathenberg. Happy reading
Do not take "Random Walk" too seriously because when it comes right down to it the book is dead wrong. It is hard to see this because it explains the market to the "scientific consensus" that most educated people have. A much better book to read in it's stead is "The Alchemy of finance" by George Soros. Soros is one of the few people who has written about the markets with absolutely no need for the money from royalties.

One book that seems to be on most lists is Taleb's "Fooled by Randomness." I don't like his writing style, but it's definately a must-read IMO.
