Quick
Synopsis:
John Brasher’s Ultimate Covered Call Book is something new and vital
on the investing scene. This book is absolutely huge, nearly 300 pages
in 8.5" x 11" format, loaded with helpful diagrams. Forget other
covered call books you have seen - John's book is the ONE. Some of vital
topics and concepts explained in the book have never been covered in any
other book on the subject.
But far more than
a treatise on writing covered calls, John's new book explains not only
how to do it (and how not to), but shows readers how to conservatively
generate a consistent income on stocks in different market environments,
using clear and simple examples. Without shying away from the topic of
trade risk, John shows how to define and limit risk in covered call positions
while milking them for consistent cash flow. For those seeking a realistic
method of consistent wealth generation,
this book is a must-have.
The
CallWriter Method:
John Brasher’s CallWriter Method is deeper and more subtle than
simply finding high covered call returns and writing those stocks. Trade
selection is a huge part of the game, where most covered writers win or
lose. But trade planning and trade management also are important. John
explains the CallWriter Method simply, each chapter building upon the
previous one. For example, most covered call books reduce stock selection
to a few bullet points, but John gives you an entire chapter on picking
trades (fundamental, technical and market factors), and does something
no one else does - John tells you what makes a stock a poor choice for
covered call writing and explains why it's bad. John's
method for covered call writing is:
- High-Yield
- Low
Risk (SuperPut strategy)
- Easy
to Learn
This
book is simply so valuable, so clear and so useful, everyone interested
in covered call writing should have this book.
