This book is what I was looking for.

It took you from the most basic concepts to the most advanced like Put-Call Parity.

Although, it takes awhile to grasp some concepts, It worth the read it.

EXCELLENT book on options trading, going through the basic concepts in the first six or so chapters before even addressing the ways you'd use it as an investment. Very light on the math - perhaps too light - but a very good introduction before looking at tougher concepts.

The book I wish I had read for first to understand financial options. It is a bit technical but insightful and geta under the shell of the mechanics of these tools. If a bit dry at times, at others is transparent in a way others have not managed.
