This book features straightforward stock market strategies that
offer exceptional returns and cash flow while substantially
reducing market risk. With only minimal extra effort each month,
you can do better - a lot better - than buy-and-hold. To earn solid
returns while effectively managing risk, millions of investors in
whipsaw financial markets have learned that basic option writing
strategies can make a dramatic improvement in their investment
returns. "Option Writing Strategies for Extraordinary Returns"
details put and call writing techniques that investors from
conservative to aggressive are using to both generate and protect
portfolio profits in bull, bear, and non-trending markets. Whether
your goal is to create better-than-average long-term growth or
generate better-than-average current income, this timely book
provides step-by-step directions you can follow to create a stock
option strategy that allows you to: combine the purchase of blue
chip stock with the writing of puts and calls on that stock;
increase your long position in the future, if the put is exercised,
at a fixed price that is guaranteed to be lower than the current
price; and, generate significant interest on cash received when you
write options. It's not as complex as it sounds; it is, however,
proven effective at reducing the risk of owning common stocks.
"Option Writing Strategies for Extraordinary Returns" will change
the way you look at stock ownership and option writing by combining
the two into an effective, all-weather investing program. For too
long, individual investors have been inundated with stories on the
perils of option buying. Brokers and money managers who passed
along these scare stories could hardly be blamed, since more often
than not they had never taken the time to understand the profitable
merits of writing options. "Option Writing Strategies for
Extraordinary Returns" explains, in everyday language and without
complex mathematics, how you can use option writing strategies to
improve your investment returns while shielding your portfolio from
unexpected loss. It explodes the prevailing myth that writing
options exposes an investor to unpredictable and unlimited risk by
detailing how, when used correctly, option writing is in fact among
the most easy-to-use methodologies for shielding your portfolio
from such risk. Using tables and charts to illustrate each step,
veteran options expert David Funk details an innovative
'three-legged' model that involves the purchase of a stock position
and the simultaneous writing of both put and call options with
different strike prices on that position. This model reduces the
amount of downside risk assumed versus buying stock alone, while
allowing you the flexibility to increase your upside potential when
you feel circumstances warrant. This well-organized guidebook takes
you through an innovative program designed to turn basic put and
call option writing into powerful income and capital building
tools: Section one covers the basic concepts of covered call and
cash-collateralized put writing; Section two explains how to design
an investment program focused on capital appreciation; Section
three shows how to adjust that program to maximize current income;
Section four explores advanced strategies for extending positions,
profiting from unusual events, and more; Section 5 shows you how to
prepare for, and even profit from, early assignments and other
unexpected occurrences; and, Section 6 takes a more in-depth look
at the underlying theory of option writing. "Option Writing
Strategies for Extraordinary Returns" isn't a get-rich-quick book
that promises to double your money each year. What David Funk's
book does promise is to introduce you to a commonsense,
market-proven investing strategy for making more money than the
majority of investors, while providing your portfolio with specific
loss limits when the market drops. 'These savvy investors likely
