Reseña del editor

In order to survive and thrive in today's financial markets, you must seriously consider the use of options in your investment endeavors. Options allow you to reap the same benefits as an outright stock or commodity trade, but with less risk and less money on the line. The truth is, you can achieve everything with options that you would with stocks or commodities at less cost while gaining a much higher percentage return on your invested dollars. After numerous years as a market maker in the trenches of the New York Mercantile Exchange, few analysts know how to make money trading options like author Lee Lowell. In this well-rounded resource, Lowell shows both stock and commodity option traders exactly what works and what doesn't. Filled with in-depth insight and expert advice, "Get Rich with Options" provides you with the knowledge and strategies needed to achieve optimal results within the options market. The book quickly covers the basics how options are priced, strike price selection, the use of Delta, and using volatility to one's advantage before moving on to the four options trading strategies that have helped Lowell profit in this arena time and again: buying deep-in-the-money call options, selling naked puts, selling option credit spreads, and selling covered calls. Using these strategies decisively, he says, is the fastest route to riches in the options trading game. "Get Rich with Options" is packed with real-life examples of actual trades and detailed discussions of how options can be used as a hedging, speculating, or income-producing tool. You'll learn how to set up a home business with the best options trading software, tools, and Web sites. And you'll begin to see options in a whole new light and discover how to become part of a small group of investors who consistently win.

"There are many options books in the market today. For the most part, they impart sterile options strategies that will 'theoretically' work for you. But, they are written from the perspective of an academic. In Lee Lowell's Get Rich with Options, you will learn options and commodities basics. That's not where the value is. The value of this outstanding, understandable book comes from the author's perspective of how to trade options and commodities. Lee Lowell brings you the secrets from the trading pits in New York, the secrets of a market-maker, a trader who MUST make money to survive, a trader who has made thousands of successful trades. After reading the book, you will come away with a professional education, and the stark realization that trading options is easier than you think, more profitable than you could imagine, and that there are only three or four surefire strategies that will make you a lot of money consistently. Clear your shelf for this one, it is an invaluable guide for the fastest growing segment of the investment arena today."

"Option strategies are often delivered in a sea of hype. It's refreshing to learn from someone like Lee who takes a conservative, no-BS approach to options and still makes investors money. I'm impressed by his frankness, his sincerity, and the way he manages risk."
—Julia Guth, Publisher, The Oxford Club/Investment U

"Lee Lowell leads us down the road of complex derivative products and takes us out the other side much more profitably. This book will show you that trading on options is not out of reach. Lee takes complex ideas and breaks them down step by step to help every trader from novice to expert master the art of options trading. I found new ideas and skills at every turn in this book and think it's a must-read for the serious commodity options trader."
