"A truly excellent strategies book! Whether you are a novice or an advanced options trader, Thomsett brings you a straight-forward example packed guide that outlines the limitless opportunities the world of LEAPS options can offer the thoughtful investor. A MUST read!"—Marty Kearney, Instructor, CBOE's Options Institute, author of Understanding Leaps: Using the Most Effective Option Strategies for Maximum AdvantageUnleash the power of Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS) for
Worth owning, but not for beginners.,
While this book provides a lot of strategies, a lot of the strategies are just very close variations of other strategies. The strategies overlap significantly. The book seems to repeat itself a lot. I believe it contains a few errors and makes some major oversimplifications. For those reasons, this book is not for the novice investor.
It’s worth the price, because you will find something in this book that will make money for you.

|Eye-opening info — great organization.,
The book shows great strategys for long term option investing. Makes it easy and simple. Anyone who knows options will like Leaps because the strategys are much more flexible. Highly recommend the book as user friendly and useful. I am going to use a lot of the things like using Leaps instead of jsut buying stocks. Good stuff!

|An EXCELLENT book!,
Only one word adequately describes this book:- “EXCELLENT!”
The author not only describes, in detail, and, with numerous examples for clarity, all the advantages of using LEAPS in your investment program, but he also goes into details of the negative aspects, or the downside, of each of these strategies.
Unlike many other books on the subject of options, Mr. Thomsett discusses their use from the perspective of the small investor (using 100 share lots) and not, as in various other publications, institutionally sized lots of 40-50 options (which is 4-5000 shares each time).
In order to obtain the full benefit from this book though, you need to be already conversant with trading options.
A good entry point for this would be a previous book of his:- “Getting Started in Options”, or, even better, my personal favorite:- “Using Options to Buy Stocks” by Dennis Eisen.
Perhaps the only fault with the book is the point that it really should have been published in hard cover, thereby better allowing it to stand up to the heavy use that it will undoubtedly receive.
