Praise for Options Theory and Trading

“I’ve had the pleasure of teaching with Ron Ianieri at numerous live seminars for traders and investors, and one thing is for sure-Ron knows options! Now Ron has created a thorough, easy-to-read guide that you can benefit from in many ways, whether you are experienced in options trading or just starting out. I believe you will find Options Theory and Trading like Ron himself . . . full of knowledge, entertaining, fast-paced, and a joy to be around.” Also

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ron for many years now. When managing funds in our asset management company, Ron has always been our ‘go-to guy’ on anything options-related. I’ve also taught a number of seminars side by side with Ron over the years where I’ve always come home knowing more about options than when I left! The man is truly the ‘pitbull’ of derivatives.”
—Peter Reznicek, Chief Equity Strategist, www.ShadowTrader.net Also

“What a pleasure to read Ron Ianieri’s new book, Options Theory and Trading. As a market technician for the last thirty-three years I am always looking for technical moves in stocks, and I rely on Ron’s expertise for the optimum options strategy needed for each specific move I perceive happening in the markets. Ron’s ‘in the pits’ experience serves to correct the misinformation in much of the published material and classes currently available to the unsuspecting options trader.” Also

“Ron’s expertise in options is as high as there is and his experience is unparalleled. Ron not only knows the answer but can explain it in a ‘101’ fashion that is simple enough for even a novice to understand. His book is written in the same fashion. Ron not only explains the ‘how to’s’ but also the ‘how and why’ which other books just don’t seem to do. As a day trader/swing trader by nature, I also appreciate Ron incorporating real chart examples for us directional traders. For these reasons, I would highly recommend Ron’s book to anyone interested in using options.” Also
