    Description of Getting Started in Options 6/e

    An easy-to-read and updated guide to the complex world of options investing

    Investing in options sounds so risky that many people fail to capitalize on this potentially lucrative opportunity. In nontechnical, easy-to-follow terms, Getting Started in Options, Sixth Edition thoroughly demystifies the options markets, distinguishes the imagined risks from the real ones, and arms investors with the facts they need to make informed decisions.

    Besides new examples, updated charts, and timely additions that reflect important changes in the markets, this edition also includes discussions on other important options issues, such as LEAPS (long-term options), which are becoming increasingly prominent in option trading; information on options taxation; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and much more.
