Listener Questions and Comments: What's on your mind?

  • Question from John Hopkins - Hi I was inquiring if Al Sherbin's spreadsheets from his book, how to price and trade options is still available, it is not on the Wiley website anymore. And I can not get it from my O'Reilly subscription service either. I have developed my own kelly spreadsheet, but I would like an experts to see if I am right, mine works ok, it has increased my winning trades greatly. Thanks I realize this is not part of your usual discussion, many apologies.
