Customer Reviews

Nice strategies

I liked the strategy section of this book talking about how to use the futures in practice not just about what they are. I have used the buy-write strategy that the author talks about and have done very well so far. I just wish these contracts were more popular so the liquidity would be better.

Complete Guide

I was very interested in this book as it provided a complete guide to the new product along with trading strategies. I liked the way the writer described the new trading methods and product overall very much.

Very Thorough

I have to say that I found this book very long because the language in which the author writes is very professional. The book covers strategies, overview, and other details that were very helpful in letting me understand single futures. I highly recommend this book.

Very informative

This book is the best available on single stock futures because it not only covers the basic principles but it also reviews more advanced strategies. I was happy to see that the author covers strategies like buy-writes, pairs, and spreads rather than just a boring info manual on the new product. There is great information on how to invest using single stock futures WITH options at the same time, which I plan to use myself. Although some of the info like delta-neutral trading may be above the average investor, the book also has a complete area dealing with a basic overview and history of single stock futures. Also, there is a great section dealing with how investors can protect their portfolios using single stock futures (for hedging 401k stocks and other large equity in one company). Overall I really enjoyed this book.
