 A Must Read for any serious trader..... November 1, 2009
James E. Potts (Columbia, SC)
This is a fundamental "must read" for anyone who seriously intends to trade options.
It's not a kind and gentle read (meaning you're going to get ALL the details about what drives option pricing). Sometimes you need to read through a section then back up and read it again - just like any legitimate textbook.
What you'll take from the book is true insight into what's happening on the other side of the trade - and how to leverage that to your advantage.
Again - a must read for anyone who is truly serious.
 The bible of the industry September 28, 2009
Brian P. Kenny (New York City)
Natenburg is often referred to as the bible of options. If you are in that business, this is a great choice to read. Although dry at times (as a result of the subject), this book is thorough and a must have for those who are learning.
 Toooo... much theory. Not enough examples to reinforce June 23, 2009

The book dwells on too much theory:
1)Not hands on.
2)Too much of explanation with few examples and kind of feel abstract sometimes.
I got headache and resold mine. Don't get carried away by the 5 star reviews. This might not be for everyone.

Bible for Options Traders March 12, 2009
Bradford Ferguson
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is best understood by options traders, or clerks training to become traders. It is hard for all the concepts to sink in without getting your hands dirty on a trading floor. I was a floor trader at the CBOE for 4 years. At a MINIMUM, the reader should have access to a live stock options quote feed and follow an option tree for a stock. Some concepts will not sink in at first and realization may occur only after months of trading. An in-depth study in stock options is best for someone who is excellent in math.
Natenburg lays out all the risk factors involved in stock options: underlying stock direction (delta), movement speed (gamma), volatility (vega), time decay (theta), interest rate / margin / dividend (rho). Then there is the multitude of trading strategies...
For investors out there looking for a "free lunch" from stock options, no such thing exists. Any trading strategy has trade-offs and every stock option has a price. If you believe in a "free lunch" then good luck to you.
