Publisher's summary

New to trading options? Looking to generate some extra monthly cash flow? Covered calls are the place to start.

Perhaps you are sitting in cash, scared to get back into the stock market. But you are also unwilling to lock up your money in a CD that pays next to nothing. Covered calls are a great way to slowly ease back into the market, while starting to generate some income. This conservative strategy is also often used by buy-and-hold investors to generate extra income from stocks in their long-term holdings. Even if you know nothing at all about trading options, this guide will quickly bring you up to speed.

This book will teach you:

  • How to understand options terminology like calls, strike, expiration, etc.
  • The crucial difference between "naked calls" and "covered calls" (don't trade options until you know the difference!)
  • How to find stocks that are the best candidates for covered calls
  • How to pick the best strike price and expiration date for your calls

Covered Calls Made Easy will teach you everything you need to know about the most popular options trading strategy.

And if you ever get stuck, you can always reach out to me by email (provided inside the audiobook), and I will help you.

Excellent content, clear, concise, easy.

I’m so grateful to have stumbled across this book from Matthew Kratter. I’ve been interested in learning to trade options for a bit now, and have watched several YouTube videos as well as a couple other books on the subject. This one is so short, simple, to the point- I love it. I was able to listen on an afternoon walk and went home and ordered the paper book version for reference, Then I went ahead and ordered several of his other books as well. He’s clearly experienced at trading and has practical strategies as well as recommendations for resources so that his readers may learn more. Nice voice too- I listened twice. I reached out by email to thank him for writing these books (he encourages the reader to do so if they have questions or comments), and he responded. Great author, great book on what could be a complicated subject, but which becomes accessible via the lessons of the book.Thanks Matt Kratter!

Good Quick Intro

This is a good and affordable start into the topic, though it is just that. Not comprehensive enough to start investing, but good to get your terms down and mechanics.
