Option

Book is arranged very well, easy to understand (most) and valuable information.

Although this book was written in 1984 it is still, in my opinion, one of the best and clearest descriptions of options trading ever published. All later books have taken passages from this book. It also contains many formula for calculating Fair Price, days to reach a certain price, probability of reaching a price, and many more. I just cannot understand why it has not been republished given the interest in trading options. Stan Graham

This is a super book for investors that are looking for a truly profitable but underutilized technique that almost all real estate investors overlook. That is, creating a straight option to buy real estate from a seller, and then turning around and selling that option to an end buyer for a profit. The book talks about making money by controlling properties, not owning them, through real estate options. This is a brilliant idea that I know my competitors know nothing about. This is the ultimate tool in your real estate investment tool chest. I wish I read this book before I did my first option agreement. I would have avoided some of the mistakes that I made. But even with the mistakes, I still made a tidy profit. So I know it works. I found at least 10 new ideas that I will incorporate into my future real estate option deals. If you are or plan to be a serious real estate investor, you need to have this book in your library. I highly recommend this book.

Finally a book which so eloquently spells out what Africa needs to do in order to industrialize and reach its full potential. Kudos to the author Mr. Makonnen Alemayehu who crossed all his T's and dotted all his i's. This book is so very important because it expresses what Africa need to do in order to industrialize. Industrialization the African way for Africans sake.

Agricultural industrialization is the key for overall industrialization in Africa. The author provides the reader with the necessary information with very important and relevant data. I recommend all interested in investing in Africa to read this masterpiece. Institutions of higher learning should make this book a must read for its economic and technical perspective. Finally every African Head of State and every African Minister of Economics and Industries should read this book like a priest reads his bible.

My dad wrote this book and its great!

It's a small paperback but it packs in a LOT of useful information!
I bought this book back in 1994 when I was studying for my Series 7 NADA exam.
It's went for $4.95 and has 87 pages. So why is it a great little book?
First of all it goes straight to the point! It clearly explains puts, calls, basic strategies, tax considerations etc.
Plenty of examples that detail what the option is and why you would want to write or purchase a certain type of option.
If you read some of the much more expensive books on options and cut out all of the unnecessary b.s. you could create a small summary of important information. This essentially is what this book does.
Now that the market is starting to come back - and you are considering options as an investment - get a hold of this little book. The author says more in 2-3 pages than other authors who add a lot of 'fat'.
Longmeadow Press should seriously consider re-issuing this book.

This book provide a visual approach to me to understand more what is the text talking about. It is very clear to me to learn and see the result of a portfolio. Very useful.

For technical traders of all markets, this book is a must-have. From the most elementary techniques to the most complicated, this book puts all relevant concepts in an easy to understand, yet thorough, study. My own trading has become much more efficient, selective, and profitable since I read Stanley Kroll's BUSINESS ONE IRWIN GUIDE TO THE FUTURES MARKETS, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain similar results

This book explains knee injuries and problems in language a non-medical person can easily understand. The illustrations, though hand-drawn and a bit crude, are easy to follow and are very informative. I liked the explanations of alternatives in treatment and why one method is used over another. I recommend this book to anyone who has a knee injury or has arthritis in the knee.

This books is excellent. It contains information from respected medical specialists presented in terms the lay person can understand. The surprising success of limited surgery is explained in clear and reassuring terms. Dr. Evans presented some of his research at the World Conference on Breast Cancer in Kingston, Ontario, Canada in July 1997. He concluded, "Promptly treated local recurrence does not spread."
