When Jeanette Schwarz Young began her trading career in 1981, options were generally regarded as a specialized trading tool best left to professionals. She was impressed, however, by the value and versatility of options for investors of every size and experience level. Young has spent the past quarter-century both employing options as a trader and working to educate other traders on the value of options for hedging risk, increasing income, or speculating for fast profits.
The Options Doctor is Young's hands-on, practical guidebook for using options combined with technical analysis tools to both create and protect portfolio profits in every market environment. Covering topics from basic to advanced, and filled with entertaining, first-person stories from Young's career spent on the front lines of trading, it will improve your skill and comfort with options trading-whether you are a first-year trader still learning the ropes or a seasoned veteran looking for proven tips and tricks to jump-start your trading performance.
