to distinguish between "high" and "low' expectation stocks, how to measure
sentiment, and how to master the valued Contrary Opinion Theory for
successful trading. He shares his wealth building techniques for selecting
the right stocks, assessing risk, managing your options portfolio, and,
most important, for reading market timing indicators. What The Option
Advisor boils down to is expert guidance on managing your money, while
avoiding the most common errors of options trading.
From the novice to the experienced investor, The Option Advisor offers a
gold mine of information on how to achieve success in options trading.
