Options markets are a zero sum game. Someone wins only when someone else loses. If most speculators lose in the long run, who are the winners? Apart from the market makers and the small portion of speculators who win over the long term, money flows each and every month into the hands of option writers. Option writers are the people who are selling option contracts to the speculators. This is what readers will become. Covered Calls will show readers how to use options to make consistent, steady profits. It provides the rules and techniques needed to be successful in the business of writing covered calls. The DVD provides an additional expertise by discussing real market situations and examples. The combination of Covered Calls and the accompanying DVD will enable readers to become successful cash generators, wealth compounders, or professional investors.

The author leads the reader by the hand through the basics of the most conservative options strategies, such as selling covered calls and selling puts on stocks one would like to own. By the time investors are finished absorbing the information contained in Covered Calls and Naked Puts, they will feel comfortable embarking on the strategies discussed, with the goal of generating extra income in their accounts on a regular basis. As an investment professional with 30 years experience in the financial services industry, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
