Acknowledgments

Thank you to everyone at Live Vol. They’ve been great partners and I look forward to doing more interesting things with them in the near future. They were also the source of all the actual option prices we’ve used.

Thanks also to Kevin Commins, Meg Freeborn, and Stacey Fischkelta at John Wiley & Sons. They’ve provided a great platform for works that help people become better at the things that are important to them.

Thanks also to everyone who’s helped me learn about options over the years. Spending so many years in the option pits in Chicago provided a unique education; unfortunately it’s a lifestyle that is fading as trading becomes increasingly electronic. That simply means there are different opportunities, not fewer opportunities.

Thanks to Melissa Lee, Max Meyers, Dan Nathan, and Mike Khouw of CNBC’s Options Action. Helping viewers learn a little more about options would always be fun but it’s a tremendous delight to do it with these talented people.

And again, thanks to Wendi.
