The Money Tree: Risk Free Options Trading

A novel explaining the options strategy of selling covered calls. Most investors are not aware of this conservative risk free strategy that can generate a 25% annual return. The book explains with easy to understand examples, first how to pick the right stocks and second how to sell options on those stocks.

The basic principle involves buying solid companies as a basis for selling options and generating a steady stream of income.

Stock ownership is, of course, not risk free. But once that risk has been assumed, as millions of investor have done by owning stock, then there is no additional risk in selling call options on that stock. In fact by generating income you are mitigating the downside risk of stock ownership.
