Options as a Strategic investment by Lawrence McMillian is far and away the best one I've read. The book is evnipsexe (it's about 900 pages) but it is a reference book that you will keep for years. You don't read it all at once. Pick out what strategies you want to learn about and then go to those chapters. I think he offers some free info on his website as well. I have attended some of his seminars and I think he's the best option teacher around. I also subscribe to a daily live online trading webiner that specializes in options. I think you can get a free 1 week trial be emailing .I would also stay away from places like options express. Good luck. I trade options frequently and it's a good way to invest once you learn how to safely do it.
