(Keith, 2009-08-30) If I had spent the $65 listed on the cover for this I would've been highly POed. It seems like they just videoed one of those seminars put on around the country by the Options Industry Council. That said, this video is a BARGAIN at $13. Contrary to the title, I would not recommend this as a person's first introduction to options. He glosses over the intro stuff more like a refresher. I do a little retail option buying now and then so I know the basics and I ended up taking several pages of notes while watching this. It is a good intro to the Greeks. I found his coverage of bull call spreads very interesting. I knew about them but didn't know that time decay can be a benefit with them. I also got a solid understanding of Gamma and was surprised to hear that, unlike Delta, it decreases as an option gets further in the money. The way I see it, you invest a chunk of change trading options and if you learn one thing from this video it'll probably save you many times the $13.
(J. Anderson, 2009-01-16) The title of this DVD completely misrepresents the contents. First, it is titled as a "complete course". It is not comprehensive, it is an overview of options trading strategies with a section on volatility. Second it is titled as "fundamentals". It is not fundamentals. It is an overview of options trading strategies using advanced terms that you are assumed to already know. If you don't understand the technical terms of trading options, you will be lost when you view this DVD. This DVD is simply the author setting up a video camera at one of his seminars and taping it. There is supposed to be a manual that goes with this, but to get it you have to download it from the author's website after providing all your contact information. The real videos are sold for $99 on his website. The $15 version is just a taste. If you want to buy a brochure, or a sample, then this DVD is for you.
(Bruce Lee, 2008-10-25) The title is a little misleading. It offers a nice general overview of option trading strategies, but don't think that you can watch this DVD and start making money. A better title would have been , "Highlights of Options Fundamentals". Buy the DVD along with other books and hunker down and learn for a few months before you start investing with real money.
