I've been trading them for a few months with a small account. Then I bought this book and realized how much I don't know. Just a few things I have learned from this book: - The inner workings of the options market, including what happens behind the scenes when an option expires or gets exercised. - The best explanation I've ever read of time value decay and how it relates to volatility of the underlying stock - Why you probably should trade short term options instead of long term - How to calculate a realistic estimate of risk vs. reward of a potential option play - Different ways of writing covered calls depending on how aggressive or conservative you want to be - How to compare different options from the available expiration dates and strike prices - The pros and cons between writing an in-the-money option or an out-of-the-money option. - How dividends can increase the risk of being assigned when writing a call option - How to roll down a covered call option to maneuver your way out of a losing stock position. I've learned all of this in the first 60 pages, and this book is over 1,000 pages. This book has paid for itself already with what I learned. Despite being jam packed with information, it is actually very approachable for anyone with the most basic knowledge of options trading.
