Thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor. Jonathan McQuarry (McGregor) is an accountant who is growing tired of his mundane life. When his new lawyer friend, Wyatt Bose (Jackman), introduces him to an underground sex club known as The List, he becomes besotted by a mysterious woman known as 'S' (Michelle Williams). However, Jonathan's life is turned upside down when the woman vanishes and he is named as the prime suspect in her disappearance.

Options talk can be very technical but "Show Me Your Options" is broken down into bite-size chapters and useful options analogies that will help anybody muddle through options trading and come out on the other side with a couple of strategies they can use right now. The measure of a great trading book is whether I can take what I read last week and inject that into my trading on the next. Mission accomplished guys.
