No-Hype Options Trading: Myths, Realities, and Strategies That Really Work

PRAISE FOR
No-Hype Options Trading

"Kerry Given has written a book that lives up to its name, No-Hype Option Trading. He delivers realistic advice to beginning options traders and discusses the importance of good risk management. Kerry's clear explanations of several delta-neutral trading systems emphasize a fundamental truth of options trading: there is no such thing as the 'best' strategy."
—JIM BITTMAN, Senior Instructor, The Options Institute at CBOE

"Kerry Given tells it like it is to options traders. He doesn't make trading options seem easier than it is nor does he needlessly scare readers. Rather, he explains prudent ways in which individuals can use options for various purposes. It is for that exact quality that SFO taps Given each month to answer our readers' questions. No-Hype Options Trading gives readers the foundation they need to understand the options market and builds on that to help them find the best strategies for them. It's one of the best books for those new to options."
—HEATHER LARSON-BLAKESTAD, Executive Editor, SFO magazine

"Kerry (Dr. Duke) delivers a great mix of trading knowledge, trading analytics, risk/money management, and, most importantly, integrity in all of his endeavors. In No-Hype Options Trading, Kerry delivers again."
—MICHAEL A. CAVANAUGH, founder and President, Know Your Options, Inc.

"Dr. Duke has written a book for new option traders. Its best feature is that it tells the truth: options can be used to earn money, but there are no guarantees. This book delivers on its promise: no hype."
—MARK D. WOLFINGER, author of The Rookie's Guide to Options

"No-Hype Option Trading gives an excellent overview of strategies that may be used by individual investors to enhance portfolio income. Kerry Given does an excellent job laying out income-related option strategies in No-Hype Option Trading."
—RUSSELL RHOADS, CFA, Instructor, The Options Institute at CBOE

"Dr. Duke builds a foundation for the student with simple concepts and clear mechanics on what can be a very complicated topic. He is also very practical in his approach to the more advanced strategies as well. I highly recommend this book for any student who wants a solid understanding of options trading with minimal confusion and hype."
—RAYMOND LILJA, student of Dr. Duke since 2007

"Performance and honesty are two things that are very rare in this business. Duke gives us both of them in this book and in everything he does. This book will tell a side of delta-neutral trading that you won't see anywhere else."
