Book excerpt: There are many offers within the financial world that promise you great wealth or want to make you a professional in a short time. Let's not kid ourselves, 99% of it is complete nonsense and brings you nothing, except empty bags, than you already had before. Books are often outdated or simply no longer up to date and seminars are expensive pleasures, but in the end they don't tell you a secret. In this country, hardly anyone talks about trading options. I am well aware that "the German" has no great interest in the capital markets, especially not in equities. What is this book and what is it not? Will this book make you a millionaire? Certainly not, it takes a lot more than just reading a few lines. There has to be so much honesty. Nevertheless, it should help you to provide a sound and wide-ranging insight into the world of options. It is essential that you always remain curious and interested. A single book cannot teach everything there is to teach and know in this area. Not even 1,000 pages would be enough. However, care has been taken to ensure that everything is addressed that you need in order to set up your first trades and to obtain your first experiences of success. However, it is still a reference book, so you will probably not be able to read it like a novel in one piece. For learning, a friendly relationship paired with some wit and numerous examples is more suitable than hours of frontal teaching. This book should satisfy this demand. The main goal must be for you to understand what you have read and to be able to apply it! No one will be helped if you end up depressed and peppering this book in the corner instead of seriously dealing with the future. Don't worry about it, it's all the same to everyone, no master has fallen from heaven yet. Be ambitious and curious and you will be opened a wonderful world full of possibilities.
