Mark Wolfinger
Mark
Wolfinger, author of The Short Book on Options: A Conservative
Strategy for the Buy and Hold Investor, has been in the
options business since 1977. His experience as a member of the
Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) made him recognize that the

conservative investment tool, but that too few take advantage of
that opportunity.
His
book is aimed at the investor who wants more from her portfolio:
more Safety and more Profitability.
In
easy-to-understand language, the book guides the reader through the
basics of options: What is an option? How does an option work?
Then, one conservative strategy is taught in detail.
The
book is available through his Web site,
http://www.mdwoptions.com/; from the publisher (888-280-7715), or it can
be ordered at any bookstore.
Mr.
Wolfinger is available for small group seminars, offering an
