Great addition to the World of Stocks and Trading

Would you listen to Options Trading: QuickStart Guide again? Why?

Yes, I will and I have repeated listening to the book by itself and in conjunction with other information from Clyde Bank. The information is broken down for the novice and the non traditional student, those that have ventured into this interest at a later time in life and may not have the skill level for the Jargon used by advanced brokers, traders and such.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

Have you listened to any of Peter Bierma’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, as previously stated Peter brings a non monotone characteristic to this audible book. It is as though you are listening to your educated friend and not a monotone professor. which is important in keeping the interest of the listener.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Leaning about the 6 Option Trading Websites – Amex.com, Boston Option Exchange, d Chicago board Exchange, International securities Exchange, New York stock Exchange, Philadelphia stock exchange, European Style option and American Style Options; however this book focuses on American. There is so much information in this audible, but it is laid out in an interesting format and explicit detail is given where all can understand.

Any additional comments?

First and foremost this book was purchased by me at a heavily discounted price for a honest review of its content. I choose to receive this book as I have always had interest in Trading and Options Trading by Clyde Bank was my first choice as I have purchased books from this business and they have all been extremely educational and the books that have will remain in my repertoire of income options.

awesome

I struggle to understand the concept at 1st but with repeated listen and taking notes you'll have at least the basics. Only, downfall. Is you have to remember to email the company for the PDF accompaniment. Should have a direct link for paying customer. But the audible book is on point!

Options 101

Where does Options Trading: QuickStart Guide rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is an excellent "basic training" on options trading! This audiobook will teach you what an "option" is, along with how options are different from stocks (i.e. stocks give you a small piece of ownership in a company, while options are contracts that give you the right to buy or sell the stock at a specific price by a specific date), This audiobook does a good job helping novices understand how to buy and sell options, and how to get started in a way that minimizes financial risk. The concepts in this audiobook are explained clearly and in easy-to-understand language-and an accompanying PDF will help the listener to further their understanding of the material.

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.
