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.

BOOK
Covered Call Writing: An Insight into the Popular Option Strategy
Sabina Salihbasic
$69.61

About this product:
Covered call writing has always been one of the most popular option trading strategies, and is even more interesting in the time of the bear market that we have experienced in the recent past. It is a strategy that involves selling call options on a stock, while at the same time owning the stock. This strategy is employed by investors who are looking for a certain protection in the decline of stock prices and are hoping to earn additional income during flat or down markets. In this paper, covered call writing, its risks and benefits, as well as different factors influencing the strategy, are presented. Follow-up actions of covered call writing are also discussed and a short presentation provided of some of the funds using covered call writing. A case study is presented showing that the covered write outperforms the buy-and-hold portfolio during periods where shares are flat or falling and underperforms when share prices are rising strongly. The paper should be useful to students and investors who would like to better understand this investment strategy.

Lawrence G. McMillan

About this product:
For good reason, investors feel whiplashed by the markets of the past few years and are looking for sensible ways to bridge the gap between the consistency of fixed-return instruments and the upside potential of equities.

New Insights on Covered Call Writing presents an investment approach that, though it has been used by some traders for thirty years, is largely unknown or misunderstood by active investors and traders.

Most of the many professional books on options devote no more than a cursory chapter to covered calls. This book gives a complete guide to the increased control and lowered risk this technique offers active investors and traders, and will take writing covered calls from under the general umbrella of options and make it accessible to a broader range of the investing public.

BOOK
Covered Call Writing with Qs and Diamonds: Double-Digit Returns on Ready-Made Portfolios
Paul D. Kadavy
$16.95

About this product:
Covered Call Writing With Qs And Diamonds: Double-Digit Returns on Ready-Made Portfolios is not just another book about covered call writing. It is a highly focused and readily understandable educational tool with a unique easy-to-follow implementation program. It is designed for investors who either do not have the time or the desire to research individual stocks and administer such a portfolio, yet who seek an opportunity to achieve double-digit investment returns by using covered call writing.

Ownership of the ready-made portfolios available to you with the Qs (ticker symbol QQQQ: the 100 largest companies on the Nasdaq) and Diamonds (ticker symbol DIA: the stocks composing the Dow Jones Industrial Average) eliminate the need for stock research. And, the call writing choices you have available to you with them are far broader than any individual stocks, making them the perfect equity investments to use in conjunction with covered call writing.

After the annual meeting of his company, Warren Buffett (Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway) said to Maria Bartiromo of CNBC: 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. If you believe that The Oracle of Omaha is right about a slow-growth market for decades to come, then everything that you need as an investor is here for you in this book to develop and implement a covered call writing program using two of the most liquid, highly diversified equity portfolios.

THE BOOK PROVIDES:

* The case for using the PowerShares QQQ that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index (top 100 Nasdaq stocks in market capitalization) and the Diamonds Trust Series 1 (tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average) for total or substantial portfolio composition.

* Details on the unique features of these two highly liquid and popular Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that make them ideally suitable for no hassle, easy decision covered call writing to assist in reaching consistent double-digit investment returns in a more conservative way than a buy-and-hold equity strategy.

* A detailed turnkey implementation program for call writing with the QQQQ and DIA, including out-of-the-money calls and in-the-money calls, both of which can yield solid double-digit returns, when and how to effectively use them.

* Discussion on call expiration date selection to fit your needs, including the advantages of shorter-term and longer-term expirations.

* A presentation of technical analysis tools to assist investors in making short-term decisions on when to write calls, and which type of call to write.

* Use of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to assist in reviewing covered call writing selection alternatives and tracking your results so that the best decisions for you are reached to achieve your investment return goal.

* Use of margin, if appropriate for you, to potentially almost double the returns from covered call writing on these ready-made portfolios.

* 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.

* Presentation of the tax information you need to understand and administer the income tax aspects of covered call writing.

With interest rates so low and a scarcity of acceptable investment alternatives available to investors, covered call writing on diversified portfolios such as the Qs and Diamonds may offer one of the best possible opportunities to achieve double-digit investment returns in the slow-growth market we seem sure to encounter ahead.
