Options in Volatile Markets: Managing Volatility and Protecting Against Catastrophic Risk, 2nd Edition

Praise for Options FOR Volatile Markets, Second Edition

"Once again, McMillan and Lehman have created new and insightful updates into the world of derivatives trading. Every time you think you've mastered the game, these two industry titans prove you wrong. It's uncanny. In fact, let me put it this way: If you think you know options markets, think again."
—Richard Bensignor, President and Chief Strategist at Bensignor Strategies, Inc.; Editor of New Thinking in Technical Analysis

"Highly recommended for serious investors aiming to protect their portfolios from the next 'black swan' event. It's not a question of 'if' but 'when.' Be prepared with the tactics in this book."
—Donato A. Montanaro, Jr., Chairman and CEO, TradeKing

"Options for Volatile Markets provides the reader with time-tested option strategies for capital appreciation, income generation, and limiting losses. As discovered during the financial hurricane of 2008, asset diversification is not enough. Properly implemented, option strategies can be the difference between financial success and failure during volatile times."
—Kenneth G. Winans, CMT, MBA, President and Founder, Winans International; award-winning author and Forbes.com columnist

"The 'new normal' post-2008 world involves more than just lower returns, it comes with an overhang of serious risk to boot. This book provides clear strategies to both boost returns and protect against 'fat-tail' risks that can destroy capital."
—Stephen Savage, Managing Partner, Litman/Gregory Asset Management

"Successful investment management over time is not driven by how much one makes, but rather by how much one consistently does not lose. The best investors and traders of which I know focus first on risk management and secondly on profit maximization. After witnessing the financial market volatility of the last decade, absolute returns and consistency of those returns should be a key objective of institutional as well as retail investors going forward. Lehman and McMillan provide a roadmap of creative, intelligent, and purposeful options strategies for achieving exactly this."
—Brian Pretti, CFA, CFP, Chief Investment Officer, Mechanics Bank
