De|G PRESS announces the release of its new book Options: The Essential Guide for Getting Started in Derivatives Trading, Tenth Edition. This new comprehensive mentoring guide from prolific business writer Michael Thomsett clearly presents all of the essential information needed to learn options trading.

Michael S. Thomsett, author of 10+ investing books explains his trading and teaching philosophy:

"My trading philosophy is easily explained. I believe in simplicity and strive to explain my rationale for entering and exiting trades. I share information rather than keeping it guarded."

Whereas most options books focus on profit and loss opportunities, Thomsett addresses the issues of hedging market risks in an equity portfolio head on. The author presents the compelling argument that options should not be thought of as risky stand-alone trading vehicles, but offer greater value as a coordinated strategic methodology for managing equity portfolio risks as presented in numerous examples in this book.

Divided into four parts, Options reflects a guiding standard of the past nine editions and includes:

·      —Clear explanations of the attributes and strategies of calls and puts.

·      —A chapter on the short life of an option.  This, missing in almost every options book, is a key point to understanding options trading.

·     —The rest of Part 1 is filled with examples showing different trading strategies on both sides of the trade.

The second part of the book is about closing positions; taking profit, exercising, expirations or rolling forward your position, risk analysis, profit calculations and the impact of volatility.

The third part simplifies the complex issues of advanced strategies including the various spreads and combining spreads to successfully hedge other positions and how certain strategies work. Each spread is covered in at least one example.

The final part is on evaluating risk. The unquestioned benefits of hedging risk and strategies that are virtually guaranteed to succeed, those generally the domain of the investment giants, along with many examples, are discussed.

Its broad coverage makes it an incredibly valuable desk reference to any trader in options. You won't get explanations like these on the internet.
