Yes, I will and I have repeated listening to the book by itself and in conjunction with other information from Clyde Bank.

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.

Very basic

No significant content on trading options. Makes me think I should write a book myself to help others learn useful information about options.

The book constantly refers to a pdf file not inclu

The book constantly refers to a pdf file NOT included in the audible version That significantly reduced the value of the book. The reader has to email the author for the file.

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!

excellent book

this is a great listen for beginners who want to explore options trading. the audio performance is brilliant

Informative

Full of useful info for new trader, terms, jargon and concepts well explained. THE END

Good

Seems like a good introduction to Options Trading if you are trying to learn about this topic

Good knowledge

The start of this audiobook was very informative and useful but as a beginner I got very confused when the narrator started quoting the wrong figures to look at with the accompanying pdf document. Needs work!
