BOOK
Put Option Writing Demystified: Earn Double-Digit Cash Returns While Waiting to Buy Stocks at a Discount
Paul D. Kadavy
$16.95

About this product:
Put Option Writing Demystified is the book devoted exclusively to the subject of generating double-digit income returns from a little-known, often misunderstood and conservative investment opportunity known as put option writing. In fact, it can be more conservative than simply owning stocks alone. And the good news is that this strategy works best during slow growth, flat or even slightly declining markets.

This book fully stands on its own, but it can also be viewed as a companion text to Covered Call Writing Demystified (see the book description on Amazon.com for more information). Hence the similarity in name. These are the reasons:

* Put option writing and covered call writing have essentially the same reward and risk characteristics. When used as outlined in the book, they are very conservative (unlike many other uses of options).

* Investors using covered call writing will find opportunities to use put option writing to achieve similar double-digit investment results, but also to have the opportunity to purchase stocks or Exchange Traded Funds at a discount from their present value.

What is put option writing?

Have you been tempted at times to buy a particular stock, but decided not to take the plunge because you thought it might be overpriced...or, just on a hunch, you thought you might be able to pick up the shares at a lower price? Not only might it be possible for you to buy that stock for less, but what if someone were willing to pay you cash today at a double-digit return rate and also give you the opportunity to buy it at a lower price later? Does that sound too good to be true? It is not. It is called put option writing, and it s available to you on literally thousands of stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Put Option Writing Demystified is totally focused on providing (1) the education you need to fully understand the concepts behind put option writing and (2) a unique easy-to-follow program so that you can implement the strategy yourself without the help of a full-service broker or investment manager.

The book also provides short-term technical analysis tools to assist in guiding market forecasts and making even more profitable put writing decisions

In addition to presenting everything you need to know about put option writing and how to implement your own personal put writing program the book provides:

* A uniquely designed Microsoft® Excel template for put writing to assist in reviewing writing selection alternatives so that the best decisions for you are reached to achieve your investment return goal.

* An Excel file containing all of the latest U.S. ETFs with a wealth of information about them, including those on which options are available.

* Details about brokerage accounts, with special emphasis on the use of online discount brokerages for quick, very low cost execution of trades. Web sites for brokerages, charting sources and other technical information are provided.

* Tax information you need for understanding and administering the income tax aspects of put option writing. This includes the opportunity for deferring taxation of income until a later tax year while enjoying the use of the income now.

With interest rates so low and a scarcity of acceptable investment alternatives available to investors, put option writing, as well as covered call writing, may offer two of the best possible opportunities to achieve consistent double-digit investment returns in the slow-growth market we seem likely to encounter ahead.

BOOK
Put and Call Option Writing for the Investment Advisor and Financial Planner
Paul D. Kadavy
$75.00

About this product:
PUT AND CALL OPTION WRITING FOR THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND FINANCIAL PLANNER is a timely and profitable tutorial investment program written for investment professionals who have knowledge of stock market investing but are relatively new to put and call option writing. The book simplifies, fully explains and instructs advisors on how to use covered call writing, put option writing and both covered and uncovered option combination writing on common stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Some of the investment approaches detailed (writing covered calls and cash-covered puts) are a more conservative investment strategy than just owning stocks alone. Others are more aggressive, although much attention is devoted in the book to mitigating risk. These option strategies have been available for decades. Until now, however, they have been mostly unknown or misunderstood by many investors and investment advisors.

Why is PUT AND CALL OPTION WRITING FOR THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND FINANCIAL PLANNER needed? Many nationally recognized investment experts believe that the U.S. stock market in the future will most certainly produce significantly lower returns than the high returns of the past for many years to come. Some noteworthy examples:

* The long-term prospects for equities in general is far from exciting. - Warren E. Buffett, The Chairmans Letter, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. Annual Report.

If you own equities, over the next twenty or thirty years you will get a reasonable return. Maybe its 6%, maybe its 7%. People who expect 15% a year are doomed to disappointment. - Interview with Warren Buffett by Maria Bartiromo of CNBC TV.

* Over the next century you should expect your share prices to average 6% a year. Over the next five years, ten years, I think you will be lucky to come out even on share prices. - Sir John Templeton, now deceased pioneer in the mutual fund industry, Business Center, CNBC TV Interview.

The strategies outlined work best in such a market environment. PUT AND CALL OPTION WRITING FOR THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND FINANCIAL PLANNER is unique because:

(1) Detailed investment programs are outlined for easy implementation to assist advisors in achieving consistent double-digit returns utilizing option writing on common stocks and ETFs. These investment strategies are most effective in a slow growth or no growth stock market, as is projected for the future by many investment experts.

(2) The entire subject matter is devoted to a focused area of standardized options including covered call writing, put option writing and combination writing on stocks and ETFs an advisor owns or acquires in the future for himself/herself or for clients.

(3) A complete education on the subject is provided and specific programs for implementation of each strategy.

(4) Detailed information is provided on the advantages of ETFs over mutual funds with a list of ETFs, by category, that offer option writing and an analysis of which are the most attractive.

(5) Numerous easy-to-use Microsoft Excel and Word templates on a CD/ROM for PC use are provided with the book to assist in making specific investment decisions regarding which puts and calls to write on stocks and ETFs, to effectively track results, to analyze commission-based vs. fee-based compensation for options on an individual account basis and for other planning purposes.

(6) Extensive marketing materials are provided in the book and on the software for the advisor to use in promoting option writing services to current clients and new prospects.
