Hi Toofuzzy, Yep, read that and some stuff about Dollar Value Averaging as well as "The Complete Guide to Option Selling" by James Cordier and Michael Gross. Plus I have downloaded and read a bunch of other stuff on various theories of how to work the market.

I tend to read a wide variety of stuff, for example, "Grifftopia" by Matt Taibbi. Then there is "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis of "Moneyball" and "The Big Short" fame.

"Liar's Poker" is all about Salomon Brothers in the mid '80s to late 1988 when he was an employee. He digs into the credit default swaps and other crazy financial activities and even gets into what likely caused AIG to crash in 2008 because of the way they handled the various financial instruments they insured. Great book. I highly recommend it if you want to understand what was happening out of sight at the time.

Best,

Allen
