Can anyone recommend a good options book

Forgot to mention "OPTIONS:Essential Concepts and Trading Strategies" by The Options Institute/Business One Irwin. It's a good read for someone who's past newbie status but doesn't want to get buried by something highly technical and sophisticated. That's for later :)
 
How about the Samir Elias book, Generate Thousands. Anybody read it ? I am thinking about getting it.

Most of the option books I have read have either been what you can get for free from CBOE, etc. or some over the top stuff that is nice to know but doesnt make you money.

I do have MDW's Rookie's book and I liked it.

There is also a book by Lee Lowel that has a couple of good chapters on some directional strategies.
 
Quote from Wayne Gibbous:

countdown to MW 3...2...1... :D

LOL!

Apparently he wrote another book in which he advised to hold stocks for the long time, right at the market top! Then he moved to something else.
 
Guess you're right, this book which came out in 2002:

The Short Book on Options: A Conservative Strategy for the Buy and Hold Investor (Paperback)
~ Mark Wolfinger (Author)

From the reviews, evidently it was about using covered calls as attested to by this reviewer that gave the book five stars:

I still haven't done my first covered write using the stocks in my portfolio but I am anxious to start. I have really worked through the examples and numbers that Mr. Wolfinger presented in his book and I am confident that I will increase the rate of return in my portfolio using his conservative option trading strategy.
