Jeff Kohler the Option Addict | Stock and Options Trading

I must take a moment and thank each of you for sending an e-mail over the weekend in response to the homework assignment. For those who didn't...why not? Since I received a ton of e-mails, and yes I have READ EACH ONE, I received so many that I will not have an opportunity to respond to each of them. I did jot down your recommendation and have a list of topics to discuss. Thanks for participating!

Now on to business. I can't remember the last time I have been this pissed off. Let me give you an idea...I have been prepping for a new session on Options Pricing for over a week. I was somewhat excited...I took a few books off the shelf to study and freshen up on the topic. These books included...

Options as a Strategic Investment- Lawrence McMillan

Option Volatility & Pricing- Sheldon Nattenburg

Dynamic Hedging; Managing Vanilla and Exotic Options- Nassim Taleb

Currency Derivatives; Pricing Theory, Exotic Options, and Hedging Applications- David DeRosa

I created some awesome slides and had a decent presentation

prepared. I didn't count the hours it took to prepare, but if I were a consultant...my bill would be enough to send me home for the rest of the month. Anyway... I wake up nice and early, and get into work at about 6:00 am. I get logged in and ready to start the meeting when I discover that there is no meeting to start.

My session didn't get off the ground like I thought it would today. But it has taught me a few things in the process. Such as...if you want something done right...do it yourself.

I'll post again after I get things figured out.
