COVERED CALL WRITING DEMYSTIFIED is a timely and profitable tutorial investment program written as a novel, primarily for investors who have some knowledge of stock market investing but are new to covered call writing. It is the first work on this subject to simplify, fully explain and instruct investors on how to use covered call option writing on common stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). It may offer one of the best opportunities to achieve double-digit investment returns in the slow growth or no growth stock market expected by many experts in the future. This strategy works best in such a market environment. The investment approach of writing covered call options on stocks, a more conservative investment strategy than just owning stocks alone, has been available for decades. Until now, however, it has mostly been unknown or misunderstood by many investors.Why is COVERED CALL WRITING DEMYSTIFIED needed? Many nationally recognized investment experts believe that the U.S. stock market in the future will most certainly produce significantly lower returns than the high returns of the past for many years to come. Some noteworthy examples:
* The long-term prospects for equities in general is far from exciting. - Warren E. Buffett, The Chairmans Letter, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. Annual Report.
* If you own equities, over the next twenty or thirty years you will get a reasonable return...maybe it is 6%, maybe it is 7%. People who expect 15% a year are doomed to disappointment. - Interview with Warren Buffett by Maria Bartiromo of CNBC TV.
* Over the next century you should expect your share prices to average 6% (return) a year. Over the next five years, ten years, I think you will be lucky to come out even on share prices. - Sir John Templeton, now deceased pioneer in the mutual fund industry, Business Center, CNBC TV Interview.
* It is wise to have realistic expectations on the overall returns you can expect in the stock market, which over time should clock in at about 6% to 7%. The days of double-digit annual returns are probably over for some time to come. Suze Orman, The Financial Connection.
