Investing Without Fear: Options
by Harvey Conrad Friedentag
Publications International (June 1995)
ISBN: 0942641655
Rating – 5 stars
Harvey Friedentag, a Denver-based registered investment
adviser, has done all investors a favor. In writing this book, he clarifies
many of the misunderstandings that surround the world of listed investment
options.
Too many consider the use of investment options as another
form of gambling. This impression remains, despite their ability to minimize
portfolio risk, diversification while maximizing capital gains, income and
downside protection.
This well-written book is not for beginners, the author
cautions. Rather, it is for experienced investors who have been unsuccessful;
those who have made either small gains or, worse, lost money. This
easy-to-understand book provides grounding in investment options. It begins
with definitions. Then, it proceeds to strategy and tactics. The chapter on
taxes is worth the book’s price.
“Fear always springs from ignorance,” Ralph Waldo Emerson
once wrote. Those words ring true in the investment world. By penning this
book, Friedentag has gone a long way to alleviate much of the misunderstanding
that surrounds options strategies.
