The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I wanted to recommend a book I bought about stock options. It is called Options Trading Simplified For Beginners: Master The Essential Options Skills For Generational Wealth Even With A Small Account. The author in my view is a genius in that he can explain complicated topics in a way anyone can understand. I have read other books on options, including MacMillan’s book, and I got so confused. I understood everything I read in this book, and he covered a lot. Moneyness, calculating breakeven, the greeks, rolling, closing out positions, how to calculate how much your underlying will move. At the end he teaches you the four vertical spreads, The iron condor, the iron butterfly, the covered strangle, and the straddle. Amazingly, they were all easy to understand. What is amazing is that I did not see a single non five star review on Amazon.
