Options Trading Tutorial

I would like to learn options trading. Do you know a good place to start?

1. Optionetics offers a good course. Also, OptionMonster might offer some resources. Otherwise lots of books out there. Without knowing what you know, hard to suggest a specific one. ******* oh yeah, open an account with OptionsExpress.
2. Two books, in this order... Options as a Strategic Investment Option Pricing and Volatility by Natenberg
3. I suggest you start with the free educational material at http://www.cboe.com/LearnCenter/default.aspx and http://www.optionseducation.org/ to get the basics down then read at least one good book about options before you start trading. I believe "Oh Boy!' gave you two excellent books to consider Options as a Strategic Investment by Lawrence McMillan and Option Volatility & Pricing by Sheldon Natenberg. They may or may not be the best books for you to start with, depending on your background. One other book you might want to consider is The Rookie's Guide to Options: The Beginner's Handbook of Trading Equity Options by Mark Wolfinger. I mention that book because the author participates on the Yahoo message board at http://messages.yahoo.com/Business_%26_Finance/Investments/forumview?bn=4686677 which means you have the ability to ask him questions directly. He posts under as "dagnyt" on that message board. (Beware of impostors.) If possible I suggest you try to review different books at a large bookstore, a large library, or at amazon.com to find one you are comfortable reading.
