to trade options,  Could you recommend a good options
trading book or maybe one that you have wrote.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the kind words.  For people first learning about options, I recommend a book I wrote that is  targeted to that very audience.

    The Short Book on Options: A Conservative Strategy for the Buy and Hold Investor provides a careful, detailed description of what options are and how they work.  The book goes on to describe covered call writing and why it's a very appropriate strategy for newcomers to the options universe.  This strategy reduces risk and allows the investor to earn profits more often.  It's available from Amazon, or you can order a copy directly from me:
