Gentlemen, I have subjected myself to a variety of option buying courses, option strategy DVD's and various other option books over the past 5 years. This often fruitless yet always expensive journey finally led me to investigate the possibility of selling options rather than buying them. You see, it took me a long time to figure out that the guys running these seminars on buying options weren't actually making their money by taking their own advice, they made their money by taking mine and by selling options to people like me that they had 'educated' (I use the term loosely of course).
It was so frustrating trying to find out how I could learn to be the seller and not the buyer. I was determined to chase this thing through to whatever the end had in store for me, bankruptcy or financial independence... I wasn't giving up!
So, imagine my delight when I happened across a copy of your book. As I stood in the bookstore I skimmed through the pages examining its contents for readability and relevance to my quest. I started to smile, I started to feel good, I grabbed my partner, Sue, and said "look at this! this book is fantastic! this is what I've been looking for!" Of course Sue smiled politely back at me and carried on reading her own book.
I couldn't wait to get home and read it from cover to cover.... That was 3 months ago, I have been trading - selling - options now for the past 3 months and I have resigned from my job. It's not fancy, it's not exciting on a daily basis like day trading, but it's the answer to my prayers. I can't thank you guys enough for producing a book that is encouraging, exciting, down to earth and just brimming with everything I need to be a successful trader.
Of course I'm still learning and will be for many years I'd imagine, but for an Aussie fella like me to get this much useful information out of a book produced in the U.S. speaks volumes about the manner in which you've presented the material. I have recommended your book to a good number of people both here and in the U.S. (I have been contacted through another website by people wanting to know what I'm doing to make money - the other website is totally unrelated, I just told my story and folks wanted to know more, it's a fitness site actually).
James, Michael, even though I trade Aussie stocks, your book is a valuable addition to my learning curve.
Thank you again guys - if there's ever a need for you to require an endorsement from an Aussie, you know where to look.
