Book Recommendation Please.

Hello,

I'm new to options and in the learning mode. I've read a few books and understand some of the strategies such as spreads, collars, butterfly, iron condor and such.

I'm looking for a book to take me to the next level. For example, I see there's the issue with volitility and volumn of a stock. Can anyone recommend a good book that explains some of these specifics. Thanks.

My book, Commodity Trading 101 covers options extensively. I was an options member on the CBOT long ago.....
I've tried to attach the pdf for the book for free if you want to buy is it is on Amazon (pdf is too big I guess....?) PM me, I can send you the pdf if you have decent email......

The Natenberg book is great. A little boring perhaps, but full of info. I also like these sites. If you are a beginner, they are great:

www.cboe.com

www.888options.com

www.TheOptionsInsider.com

Good info for beginners and, at least as far as I know, they won't cost you a dime. Might be worth checking out to familiarize yourself with the concepts BEFORE you invest in a book that may or may not be useful for you.
