Hiya,

Anyone heard of the training firm 'Optionetics'?

For the legendary members on here, do you think attending such a course is a worthwhile investment for a starter in trading?

Many thanks

Optionetics does teach many levels of option trading.
The 2 day seminar teaches only the very basics.
There is a lot of free information on the internet
and studing several books would save you a lot of seminar money.

There may be a trading group in your area they may
be willing to share educational knowldege or materials.

Seminars and Guru's can eat lots of trading capital.

Thank you Carl. Perhaps we can get together for some strategies, now that I have that capital set aside ;)

FN,

Carl's dead right. However, I would like to add by recommending a few good books - always a good investment and to which you will constantly refer for years:

Natenberg, Option Volatility and Pricing. This is for the basics and strategies.

Hull, Options, Futures and other Derivatives (6th edition). For the theoretical. Pretty advanced but written with clarity. If you don't understand it, you learn to understand it. I've just bought it to replace my 2nd edition.

You could also consider Hull's Fundamentals of Futures and Options Markets, and his Students Solutions Manual (accompanies Options, Futures and other Derivatives).

Grant.
