Written by a successful stock options investor of eighteen years' experience, Covered Calls and Naked Puts is a straightforward guide to low-risk opportunities in the options market. Low risk does not mean guaranteed returns, and a disclaimer at the beginning of Covered Calls and Naked Puts warns the reader that the author is not liable in any way for losses the reader may incur from the market, and warns the reader that meticulous research of one's investments is critical. With that note firmly in mind, Covered Calls and Naked Puts is a straightforward primer full of tips, tricks, techniques, and simple truths that are all too easy to forget. A wealth of charts and diagrams help to fully illuminate the basic advice in plain terms that the lay reader will quickly be able to absorb and assimilate, especially with help from the glossary. From learning to avoid the urge to buy too much when one truly makes money by selling, to using charts to determine one's best option, to the mechanics of placing the trade and more, Covered Calls and Naked Puts is an excellent supplement to any cost- and risk-conscious investor's library.
