How many times does CNBC snub viewers

And the scary thing is he didn't just write one book like this but THREE!!

I am only aware of two. The one in my library "The Complete Guide to Options Selling", and the last one (which may never be released) "Option Selling on Steroids".

I am curious what the third one is? The former version I mentioned has had many re-prints and the cover changed appearance, which may have fooled some people into thinking they are different books.

That said, Gotay in post-analysis had mentioned there was a suspicious (possible fat-finger order) involved when he did the breakdown of a sample of the broker recorders from one of the small accounts that had been managed. I'll skip on the time-line right to the point. Of course, I'm not saying this was the main reason for everything going to shit that November.

I am actually wrong. I wrote FOUR books on options selling. I wasn't even aware of this last book "Option Selling on Steroids" until you mentioned it. It was published back in Jan. 16 of 2016 from $19.95 to $26.00. LOL Good thing he went bust otherwise Lord knows how many more are going to be duped into naked option selling and having their financial situation ruined. He wrote three books on "The Complete Guide to Options Selling", the original one and then second and third edition of it. "
The Complete Guide to Option Selling: How Selling Options Can Lead to Stellar Returns in Bull and Bear Markets, 3rd Edition"

You can find it on amazon.com. I tried to put the amazon.com link to the book here but it keeps getting converted to a media link. So you are saying the second and third edition of the book are just reprints of the original one? I think I downloaded the second edition. I don't have it anymore as I deleted it I think.

"--Option Selling on Steroids" until you mentioned it. It was published back in Jan. 16 of 2016 from $19.95 to $26.00.

I am a bit confused. "Option Selling on Steroids" was never published. It was to-be published (co-written with Gross), until the November shit-show happened. Then everything with Cordier went dark, he hasn't even touched his Seeking Alpha account either since that fate-full day.

As for "The Complete Guide to Options Selling", I wouldn't call each new edition of it as a whole new book. It's just minor corrections and filler here or there is all. It's still the SAME book.

So basically this leaves us with ONLY two books, one of them which we'll only get to see if Michael Gross can manage to make the manuscript public.

I am confused about the last book too. You said it's never published and yet I see advertisements for it all over the internet for $19.95. Good thing it didn't get published though if it didn't. The title of it is just tacky, especially from hindsight.

Unless someone leaks a copy on the Internet.

Alright, after some further investigation, and thanks to Phil, I believe you may be correct in that this book already had been published.

Looking at the index, this was copyright early 2016, with the first edition printing that year.

I could not find this anywhere at Amazon, and other similar places for the longest time, now I see why. It looks like (contrary to his former book), this one certainly was NOT published by McGraw Hill, instead it was through BookPatch LLC, which I believe is now The Book Patch, a print-on-demand service with no minimum orders. So that explains a lot so far.

Hmmn...So this book was published two years before the huge blowup. He should be during the heyday of his option trading career. Wonder why McGraw Hill didn't publish his book anymore and instead he had to choose a print-on-demand service to print this book of now we know of absolute nonsense. And the fact that there are copies uploaded to the internet, that means people have actually sought this book out and bought it even though it was not available in "mainstream" bookstores.

I completed reading through all of the 'Steroids' script last night.

The older McGraw-Hill book was still referenced in it as the fuller definitive version for the reader to get if they wanted to continue their 'education'. I believe now the 'Steroids' is a briefer 'intro' which I can only assume was for getting more high-net-wealth investors interested into his hedge fund. This seems more apparent when you get to the final chapter.

I am sad to say the Steroids book is shorter and, basically everything in that is pretty much also in the McGraw-Hill 'Complete' book.

I had wrongly assumed there would be some newer material in the newer book. But again, it seems to me to have been more of a promotional material thing. Oh well, I guess it was no big loss after all (pun not intended).
