The Rookie's Guide to Options: The Beginner's Handbook of Trading Equity Options
Mark D Wolfinger has been in the options business since 1977, when he began his career as a floor trader at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). Over the next 23 years, he worked primarily as a market maker, but also worked as a risk manager, off-floor trader, and coach for new traders. Wolfinger still trades from home, but most of his time is spent with Options for Rookies, a premier, low-priced, options education service. (OptionsForRookies). After leaving the CBOE he began teaching individual investors how to use options profitably and safely. Over the past dozen years, he has published three books (plus another e-book). Born and raised in Brooklyn, Wolfinger currently lives in Evanston, Illinois, with his life partner, Penny. He holds a BS from Brooklyn College and a PhD in chemistry from Northwestern University.
