After achieving some measure of success in trading common stocks, I'm
thinking of trying my hand at options.  I intend to limit my activities
to writing covered options, buying options, and creating spreads.  I know
how options work and I understand the risks.  What I'm looking for are
books, etc., that discuss basic option strategies, how to get one's feet
wet, etc.

If anyone knows of any good books, newsletters, and the like, please let
me know.  If you have had experience trading options, how about sharing
some war stories?

Either mail to me or post to the net.  If there is sufficient interest, I
will summarize what mail I get and post it.


		Thanks,

		John Opalko
