AAII Local Chapter |

Reasons To Attend:
|
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.

BASIC TRAINING:
Aravindan Veerasamy, PhD - Investor Psychology and Asset-allocation
Multiple studies have shown that asset-allocation policy can determine over 90% of a portfolio’s performance variability. Despite this huge effect, investors often fail to exercise care in their allocation decisions. This presentation will explore why asset allocation deserves more attention and will offer psychological insights that can help you make better asset-allocation decisions.
