** See Exploring Your Charting Your Own Path to Prosperity by Wendy Kirkland for an up-to-date guide for beginning option traders and traders who want to expand their understanding of the options market.
This book, geared specifically toward women, describes how to be a successful option trader, even if you hold down a full-time job or are a full-time stay-at-home mom.
While option trading is definitely not a risk-free method of investment, for women who have a few hundred extra dollars that they want to use to break into investing, option trading can be a lucrative way to make money.
This book explains what everything means and how to be an option trader in easy-to-understand, step-by-step ways that makes it great for the beginner or the more advanced investor. It is primarily focused on trading online and tells you what you need to know to better your chances of being successful.
Good overview of the basics. Introduced good concepts, but didn't tie them all together by the end of the book. Was left wanting a little more detail around the strategies of options trading. I felt like the book focused too much on technical analysis of stocks and not how to apply it in options trading. Got a few good pointers from the book though. And I appreciate a trading book geared towards women.
My friend John gave me this book. It was good but kind of basic. I'd recommend it for beginners but not seasoned traders. I appreciate the gift though! Thanks John!
