Increase Your Income with Covered Calls

discussed by:

Mary Ann Davis

Reasons To Attend:

  • Learn how to choose which contracts to write
  • Ask questions of an active options writer
  • Location, location, location—national instructor near you

Writing covered-call options against securities you already own provides a way to generate income, a tactic particularly useful in the present period of low interest rates. Writing covered-call options is a conservative strategy, in contrast to the speculative approach of buying options.

Mary Ann will fully explain the philosophy behind a call-writing program and will demonstrate detailed examples of how the process works. Her presentation will include the ways she personally practices this art. She will discuss the added income return rates available and will show that these can be maximized by selling calls fairly near to maturity several times per year.

Attend this meeting and learn:

  • How covered calls generate income
  • Why writing options is a winning strategy
  • How to write against existing stock and ETF positions

BASIC TRAINING:

Herb Geissler - Surviving the Bear

While winter is almost over, the Bear has been awake and growling in the equity markets for months, and we should expect him to dominate for quite a while.

Herb will describe simple guidelines and techniques for exploiting investment opportunities and surviving the Secular Bear decade profitably.
