Book Description
"COVERED CALL WRITING DEMYSTIFIED" is a timely and profitable tutorial investment program written as a novel, primarily for investors who have some knowledge of stock market investing but are new to covered call writing. It is the first work on this subject to simplify, fully explain, and instruct investors on how to use covered call option writing on common stocks. It may offer one of the best opportunities to achieve double-digit investment returns in the slow growth or no growth stock market expected by many experts in the future. This strategy works best in such a market environment. The investment approach of writing covered call options on stocks, a more conservative investment strategy than just owning stocks alone, has been available for decades. Until now, however, it has mostly been unknown or misunderstood by many investors.
Why is "COVERED CALL WRITING DEMYSTIFIED" 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 Chairman's Letter, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. 2000 Annual Report, Page 3. "If you own equities, over the next twenty or thirty years you'll 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; May 3, 2003
* "Over the next century you should expect your share prices to average 6% (return) a year. Over the next five years, ten years, I think you'll be lucky to come out even on share prices." - Sir John Templeton, pioneer in the mutual fund industry, Business Center, CNBC TV Interview; October 1, 2001
* "The Dow has gone absolutely nowhere for three, coming on four years now. I think this will last maybe for another ten years." - John Bollinger, noted technical analyst and creator of the "Bollinger Bands," CNBC TV Interview; October 29, 2001
"It's wise to have realistic expectations on the overall returns you can expect in the stock market, which over time should clock in at about 6% to 7%. The days of double-digit annual returns are probably over for some time to come." - Suze Orman, "The Financial Connection."
"COVERED CALL WRITING DEMYSTIFIED" is unique because:
(1) A detailed investment program is outlined for personal implementation to assist investors in achieving consistent double-digit returns utilizing covered call writing on common stocks. This investment strategy is most effective in a slow growth or no growth stock market, as is projected in the future by so many investment experts.
(2) The entire subject matter is centered on a focused area of standardized options...covered call writing on stocks an investor owns or acquires in the future.
(3) A complete education on the subject is provided.
(4) Unlike other books about options, it is easy to understand by any investor. The book is written as a novel, which increases reader interest and ease of comprehension.
(5) Numerous easy-to-use Microsoft® Excel templates on a CD/ROM for PC use as well as manual worksheets are provided with the book to assist in making specific investment decisions regarding which covered calls to write on stocks, to effectively track results, and for other planning purposes.
(6) Practical application exercises are included at the end of the chapters to personalize the information provided and assist with profitable planning and execution.

Not worth the money.......2004-01-11
I generally will not trash a book that is targeted at the novice but this will be an exception. First, I am a novice at options investing so should have been right in the middle of the target market for this book. Fact is, I learned more just searching the Internet while I was waiting for the book to arrive than I learned from the book. It is just too simplistic. All the knowledge contained in this book could have been conveyed in a 20 page pamphlet rather than this 300+ page puff piece with its wide margins and large fonts. A true disappointment.
waste money and time.......2003-09-13
Too simple. Explain simple points in length boring stories. It wastes my money and time.
Low risk strategy only with the right timing tools.......2003-09-07
I am a professional trader, in other words I have been making a living exclusively trading stocks and options for the past few years.
My experience has been that covered call strategy is low risk only if you have the right timing techniques to alert you to reversals. Unfortunately this book lacks in that area.
Let us take the example where you get a $1 premium on a $20 stock by selling a covered call say at a $20 strike. It is true that if the stock declines to $15 you lose $4. If on the other hand you had the timing techniques that could alert you to a reversal , you should have bought the $20 strike call back with say the stock at $19 for $0.25 making a $0.75 profit and sold a $15 strike call for $4+ which you can then close for a profit when the stock goes to $15. Waiting for the option to expire is not always the right strategy. The issue is how can you tell if there is a pending reversal and this is where timing is critical . Using these strategies you can indeed achieve double digit returns just by taking advantage of the stock short term movements.
While this book is a good introduction;to get the most benefit from this book you need to supplement it with another that focuses more on timing.
Too much emphasis on Return, not enough on Risk.......2003-09-02
This book is a good overview of covered calls for investors new to this strategy; one of the best I have seen. However, the book discusses primarily return, and minimizes discussion of risk, which I believe is a disservice to new covered call writers. Covered call writing is NOT a low risk strategy. It is LOWER risk (i.e., lower than simply owning stocks), but it is not LOW risk, and there is no guarantee of achieving the double digit returns which are advertised as being presumably easy to attain. Covered call writers still assume ALL the risk of owning stocks, less the call premiums received.
For example, it is very easy to view a $1 premium on a $20 stock as a +5% return when the transaction is initiated. But if the stock declines to $15 upon expiration, the total return is actually -$4 (-20%), which would wipe out several months of gains from other successful covered writes. This outcome is a very real possibility, even though in this book there is little discussion of this outcome or what to do about it, or, better yet, how to prevent it.
Another good book on Covered Calls is "New Insights on Covered Call Writing", which more thoroughly explains the risks involved with a covered write investment program.
As with any investment strategy, it is best to (1) learn as much as possible, (2) make sure both reward and risk are understood, and (3) practice on paper before jumping in with real funds. Toward this end, I found both books very helpful.
DON'T MISS THIS IF YOU ARE NEW TO CALL WRITING.......2003-08-13
This book has gotten a bum rap from a couple of people who consider themselves experienced covered call writers. Didn't they read in the book description that this book is designed for people that are new to this discipline? That's what I was until I read two of Kadavy's books on covered call writing. They are a lifesaver. So don't be misled. If you are an expert at this already, you probably don't need this book. But if you are new to the subject and want a detailed program for how to do it and make steady solid investment returns, this is the one.
Customer Reviews:
A Winner That Lives Up to Its Title.......2005-11-11
"Options Demystified" is a worthy addition to McGraw-Hill's "Demystified" series, easily living up to its claim of being a self-teaching guide. Hundreds of books have been written on the subject of puts and calls, but this large-format paperback is by far the best I've come across for the aspiring option trader. It is comprehensive, well organized, generously illustrated and easy to understand. The book also includes many quizzes and a "final exam" to help the reader master the material.
The author, Thomas McCafferty, has been around commodities, stocks and options for many years and written numerous books on those subjects. This one not only lays out the basics of the options game, it also condenses much of the author's impressive horse-sense into a very readable and relatively short work (251 pages, plus an excellent index). "Options Demystified" should be on every trader's shelf. Even pros will find some pearls here, including a chapter on "trading philosophy" that's perfectly attuned to today's frothy markets. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an options primer that is both comprehensive and easy to imbibe.
Book Description
The first Demystified guide to take the mystery out of investing, Investing Demystified provides independent investors with hands-on explanations of basic investing topics without needless detours. Built around the no-nonsense model that has made Demystified one of McGraw-Hill's most popular series, this helpful and practical self-teaching guide cuts right to the chase and gives straightforward direction to anyone tired of being confused by Wall Street jargon and the investing arena.
Book Description
"Put Option Writing Demystified" is the only 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 merits, 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 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.
* The put option writing and covered call writing strategies can both be used within the same portfolio to achieve similar results by differing means, depending on the investor's objectives regarding the individual stock or ETF in question.
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's not. It's called "put option writing," and it's available to you on literally thousands of stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Put option writing can be compared with placing a limit order to buy the stock or ETF of your choice at a lower price that you set…and then being paid for it. And, you get paid whether the stock falls to your price or not!
"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 delves deeply into the subject of how to obtain double-digit returns from both out-of-the-money puts and in-the-money puts, with out-of-the money puts being the principal recommended strategy both for realizing the opportunity to achieve consistent double-digit investment returns while you wait to acquire stocks or ETFs of your choice at a discount to their present market value. It also provides short-term technical analysis tools to assist in guiding market forecasts and making even more profitable put writing decisions.
On May 3, 2003 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'll 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 put option writing program that will help you achieve double-digit returns.
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:
* Use of a uniquely designed Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet 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.
* 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.
How will the baby boomers be able to generate sufficient income on their investments to enjoy a secure retirement? And how will they and others younger than them be able to create a sufficient asset base to provide for their financial security with the dire predictions for the long-term future that we cannot expect markets to perform anywhere near as well as they have in the past?
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 sure to encounter ahead.
Customer Reviews:
Misled.......2005-07-31
The title for this book is patently misleading. Introduction to put options would be more apprpriate; nothing is 'demystified'; granting different levels of experience in options trading if you know the difference between a put and a call save your money. As is the usual with these types of books half to two thirds of the book is devoted to explaining options.
Good Information /Book itself is poor quality.......2005-07-29
I ordered the book new, I found the data useful and assisted my in proving a point that i needed to prove. Highlighting and tabbing book caused ink to distort to the point of making the pages blank. Ink just falls off page. I expected better for the cost....
Great Book.......2004-03-03
Dear Author!
Just bought two books from Amazon, Put option writing and covered call writing. Thanks, your books are very useful, I will recommend to some of my friends about these wonderful books
Thanks again,

A TRULY AMAZING INVESTMENT IDEA!.......2003-09-19
I would highly recommend this book to any stock investor who is looking for some new ideas to earn back the money they've lost in the bear market. Who ever heard of being paid immediate cash to wait to buy stocks at a lower price? That's what this book taught me to how to do. It sounds too good to be true, but I know it works because I've done it after reading the book. I wanted to buy the Nasdaq 100 Trust (QQQ) at a lower price. Instead of just waiting to see if it went lower, I wrote put contracts on the QQQ at my buy price using what I learned in the book. I collected $485 in cash in my brokerage account the next day. The stock didn't hit my price, so I didn't buy it the first month, but I got to keep the $485, which was a 24% return on an annual basis. The next month I did the same thing (collected $625 this time). My price was hit and I bought the QQQ shares for 15% less than the price when I started this. In the meantime I collected $1,110 while I waited to buy my shares for 15% less. This is explained so well that anyone can do it. Nobody I know seems to know about this. It's all in this book.

Customer Reviews:
One of the best books on virtual teaming.......2004-05-03
David Pauleen has pulled together an excellent book here. It has a practitioner / user orientation, backed-up by scholarly research, but not an indigestible amount of the latter. There's real data here too - many chapters report empirical study of virtual teams from surveys, interviews etc. It's positioned exactly right for a reader who wants an authoritative account of major issues in virtual teaming and summaries of best practices, plus helpful reviews of the literature, but without overdosing on academic theorising.
What particularly makes this book refreshing is that authors aren't shy of challenging assumptions and orthodoxies, especially about trust and leadership. Although every chapter makes its contribution, two particularly stand out.
I really enjoyed the chapter by Walter Fernandez who reports trust (and mistrust) development in a large virtual team project. Great common sense here mixed with business insight (usually so missing), a healthy dose of cynicism, and empirical data.
Also remarkable is the final chapter by Peter Murphy. He uses a metaphor of 'the organization as city' to put virtual teaming in the context of physical centres of trade and knowledge. This chapter is brimful of ideas which challenge those of the earlier chapters, and Pauleen has cleverly used it as a coda to this valuable book.

A fresh and sincere approach to agriculture.......2007-08-16
This book offers a good, systematic approach for farmers, that allows you to understand what constitues a "good" and fertile soil for growing crops. I myself am just a free- time gardener, and although the book is mostly about large operations of tens or hundreds of acres, there`s still a lot of info here that I can use on my own small plot.
Schriefer`s attitude is perhaps the best thing in this book. He seems to be genuinely concerned about the decline of farming and farmland. The book is not about organic farming, however, so there`s a lot of info on using artificial fertilizers.

Book Description
Soils play an important role in the function of both natural and managed ecosystems. Understanding the impact of environmental factors on these ecosystems requires a knowledge of soil processes ranging from molecular to landscape in scale. The properties and spatial distributions of soils and their mineral constituents are especially useful as indicators of both present and past environmental conditions. Soils and soil minerals form or transform in direct response to biogeochemical factors that are driven by local, regional or global processes. Through a series of case studies, this text demonstrates that linkages can be made between measurable soil and mineral properties and the processes that shape the weathering environment. Examples include layer silicates, carbonates, sulfides, and both iron and aluminium oxides. Several papers also emphasize the role of biotic factors in soil systems, the sensitivity of these factors to management practices, and the frequently overlooked interactions that exist between organic and inorganic compartments of soils and surface waters. Finally, this text recognizes that spatial and temporal variability are inherent attributes of soils and landscapes that must be quantified and properly managed if ecological and environmental harmony are to be maintained. The buffering function of soils and the importance of this function to the release and flux of nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems are given special considertation.

From the supplier: Urban stormwater is drained to the nearest body of water and does not get treated unlike conventional urban water which passes through a water treatment facility. Consequently, urban stormwater poses a major environmental threat to bodies of water. The most effective and inexpensive approach to addressing the problem of urban stormwater clean-up is storm drain stenciling. A discussion of how to implement storm drain stenciling is presented.

From the supplier: The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) should be discontinued because of its lack of a long-term conservation policy. Although it has achieved some measure of success in reducing erosion, it remains a mere stopgap approach to resource management. The CRP should be supplanted by a more proactive yet flexible program which motivates farmers to plan more effective and set long-term goals and which aims to convert marginal land into sustainable productive land.

Description:
We examined the distribution of nutrient uptake (i.e. uptake of radioactive isotopes of nutrients) in the forest floor and lower part of the rooting zone (mineral soil) for birch (Betula pendula Roth and B. pubescens Ehr.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) in mixed stands on different soils by applying radioactive ^3^2P, ^8^6Rb and ^4^5Ca around individual trees at two depths. One month after application the current year foliage of the tree around which the application had been done and of an adjacent tree was sampled and analyzed for radioactivity (Bqkg^-^1). Birch and spruce had a similar proportion of uptake of ^3^2P from the lower application depth. In two of the stands, application of ^4^5Ca and subsequent foliar analyses did not support the hypothesis that birch and spruce differ in their capacity to take up Ca from organic (forest floor) and upper mineral soil horizons. The analogue of potassium, ^8^6Rb was applied in the upper mineral soil on two different occasions (June, July/August) in one stand. The uptake of ^8^6Rb from the mineral soil by spruce did not differ when neighbouring trees consisted of birch and spruce (mixed neighborhood) or of spruce only (spruce neighborhood). The total uptake, from forest floor and mineral soil, of radioactive phosphorus (^3^2P/^3^3P) in current year foliage was in general higher for birch than for spruce indicating a higher demand for P by birch. The distribution of uptake of radiotracers did not match data on the distribution of fine roots at the investigated sites which indicated that spruce generally had a more shallow distribution of fine roots compared to birch. Our results do not support the hypothesis that broad-leaved tree species and conifers generally are complementary in nutrient uptake from the forest floor and mineral soil in mixed stands. Neither do the nutrient uptake from the mineral soil by spruce generally change with an admixture of a broad-leaved tree species.

From the supplier: The current view of the IRS on land remediation costs is that such expenses are depreciable as improvements to facilities and not currently deductible. Assessment costs must be depreciated only if the assessment dictates that remediation is required. Factors such as whether the taxpayer owns the land, whether the clean-up is court-ordered and whether the problem was preexisting may bear on the tax treatment. If the clean-up is done on a yearly basis, the costs would be currently deductible.
