Option to Profit

Funny, but very serious

I've never seen an investment "how to" book that was actually enjoyable reading. There are lots of stories, cartoons adn side comments that are all used to illustrate points throught the book.

I'm a fairly experienced investor so I had some knowledge already. I also gave the book to my son who has expressed interest, but really doesn't know anything and he enjoyed the book and really did learn a number of things.

He and I have followed the strategies together and we've been tracking results. We've done so durring a down market and probably didn't get full advantage, but we started seeing some real income coming our way.

What I've figured out is that it does take some work in the beginning, but then becomes almost second nature and you can devote as much or as little time to your portfolio management, depending on how far you want to go with milking the stocks.

This is a really good book and I very strongly recommend it to both novice and experienced buy and hold investors

Excellent Investing Strategies

300 pages, but quick reading. Very funny and educational with easy to implement recommendations. Funny blog, too.

Very informative. Uses interesting and humorous writing style

I wasn't really certain who this book was for, even though there was a chapter focused just on that issue.

The book is an interesting blend of autobiogrpahy (maybe fictional), humor and then lots of serious discussion on an investing strategy that both longtime investors and new to the game people can utilize.

The book is well documented with lots of charts and graphs illustrating case studies. Additionally, each chapter has a cartoon that seeks to illustrate the books lessons in a humorous way.

Although it is 300 pages, the book is actually very easy to read and has only a brief introduction to the more geeky and analytical aspects of options and stocks.

I strongly recommend this book.
