Title: A general introduction to stock options, but beware!
Product review: Distinctive only for its hawking of the author's seminars. OK on stock options, but Lawrence Macmillan's OPTIONS AS A STRATEGIC INVESTMENT is much better. Cook's "rolling stock" concept, his term for buying at support and selling at resistance, works only in non-trending markets. Weak on determining the short-term trend of stocks, essential in buying or selling stock options. Cook's dividend-capturing strategy works sporadically, and this is before accounting for commissions and the spread. Not enough on risk--how to determine it, and how to deal with it.
