Excellent. Lots of great insight
25 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
Simons book goes beyond the obvious "how do" on options -- which is exactly where more writers leave off. He is able to take very obtuse institutional topics like behavioral analysis and apply them to intermarket analysis. This is an excellent book for the more sophisticated trader who wants to learn more about options trading in all markets, including futures. Great read and well worth the price.

Little use for traders
1 Jan 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
While Mr. Simons is very well versed in all aspects of market fundamental analysis, this book is of virtually no use to a trader like myself. I bought the book based on my knowledge of his previous writings and the book title. The problem is, as he states in the preface.... the Dynamic Option Selection System is proprietary! So how the options are selected in the books text is unknown to the reader.....thats why I bought the book! If your interested in learning a bit about hedging maybe.......but not trading.

Outstanding Book
9 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
Howard Simons' book is a tremendous resource for beginners and market professionals alike. I don't know who this jerk is who panned the book, but he obviously has no idea what he is talking about and ,furthermore, is completely incorrect in his criticisms. All of the equations in this book are correct.
