McMillan on Options, Second Edition (Wiley Trading)

Larry McMillan's name is virtually synonymous with options. This "Trader's Hall of Fame" recipient first shared his personal options strategies and techniques in the original McMillan on Options. Now, in a revised and Second Edition, this indispensable guide to the world of options addresses a myriad of new techniques and methods needed for profiting consistently in today's fast-paced investment arena. This thoroughly new Second Edition features updates in almost every chapter as well as enhanced coverage of many new and increasingly popular products. It also offers McMillan's personal philosophy on options, and reveals many of his previously unpublished personal insights. Readers will soon discover why Yale Hirsch of the Stock Trader's Almanac says, "McMillan is an options guru par excellence."

Thorough presentation, 2008-02-25
Written well to help new or relatively inexperienced in the options field. I learned much and have used the knowledge gained immediately.

The God of Options on Paper, 2008-02-09
Think of this as the Bible for the options trader. It's the word from the God of Options trading.

I think at least half of the book is common sense, but then again, I learned options trading when I was in my mid-late teens.

Well written, put together, organized. My only suggestion is to the publisher - make it cheaper!

Interesting reading on options, 2007-06-27
This is not a textbook of option strategies and option trading. However, it makes for interesting and educative reading. If you want to learn the trade strategies in depth, I recommend the companion book by Lawrence McMillan "Options as a Strategic Investment".

A ponderous, insightful guide to options strategy, but not for everybody, 2007-06-12
I loved this book, written in a language that is easy to understand for non native speaking, like me.
A few points:

- this book is not for absolute beginners. Mr. McMillan indeed provides the basis for understanding options and the most known strategies, like spreads, strangle or similar. I would however direct the reader who is unaware of the basis to the other ponderous work of Mr. McMillan, Options as a strategic investment
- McMillan drives the willing reader to a thorough understanding of concepts/tools often misused, like volatility, put/call ratio, etc. Specifically, the third chapter is a truly inestimable (at least in my opinion) key to harness the predictive power of options.
- This is a no-hype book, if compared with the average of the sector. Mr. McMillan does not indulge or indulges only with tasteful sobriety in describing or promoting his professional services.
In conclusion:
Though if this book is not an easy reading, I would strongly urge the serious professional to read and re-read this book. It is really one of the few eye-opener books I've ever read in this domain.

Full of bright trading ideas, 2007-03-27
This book is a comprehensive guide to a lot of trading strategies, not at all limited to the use of options.

I liked the fact that the author used a lot of real life examples, that helped to understand the strategies and sometimes the mistakes you can make
