Put Option Writing Demystified is the 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, 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 many 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.
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 is not. It is called put option writing, and it s available to you on literally thousands of stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). 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 also provides short-term technical analysis tools to assist in guiding market forecasts and making even more profitable put writing decisions
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:
* A uniquely designed Microsoft® Excel template 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.
* An Excel file containing all of the latest U.S. ETFs with a wealth of information about them, including those on which options are available.
* 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.
 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 likely to encounter ahead.

Kadavy, Paul D.

This book provides a complete education and implementation program for investors who seek an opportunity to achieve double- and even triple-digit annualized investment returns utilizing a strategy of writing uncovered puts and calls on individual stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) without owning them. Only one margin amount is required to write both the puts and the calls. It is designed for investors who have experience with covered call writing on individual stocks or ETFs, and preferably also with put option writing, and who are prepared to take greater risk to obtain greater returns. Ways to mitigate risk are also discussed at length in the book.For the option investor, the simultaneous writing of a put and a call option on the same security can provide a two-fold steady stream of cash income utilizing the same margin requirement if structured properly. It can also provide a chance to purchase desired shares of stock at a lower than current market price, if that is the objective of the investor. This book will give you the theoretical and practical tools necessary to develop and implement this investment discipline. Software templates using Excel are also provided for selecting option alternatives and calculating returns on investment. There is also a file containing a wealth of data on all of the exploding number of current U.S. ETFs, including information about which offer put and call options for writing.For investors who have time to watch the market, who have the comfort that comes from knowledge and experience with other option writing strategies, and fully understand and are prepared to take additional investment risk, writing uncovered put and call option combinations offers the opportunity for very high returns at a time when the overall long-term outlook for investment returns, both equity and fixed income, seems to be below their historical averages.
