5 comments about Covered Call Writing with Qs and Diamonds: Double-Digit Returns on Ready-Made Portfolios.

1. A primer on options, having little to do with Qs, Diamonds, other than that is the vehicle. Not sure you need to buy book to see benefit of diversification in underlying asset -all other risk aspects remain the same.



2. It was a my husband's favorite Christmas present. This is his favorite strategy - he has really been enjoying the book. He says all you need is a minimum of one thing you didn't know to catapult you farther - this had many more than one! Thanks.



3. If you want to find out how to take 12% out of the market in cash per year, this book is for you. It's clear, concise and comes with instructions on how to create P/L templates on Excel. In addition, they'll send everything you need to get started on Excel in your email for free. The book set-up moves from simple on to complicated, lots of graphs and plenty of examples. My problem, which may be not a problem for others, is that pesky 12& gain per year. If you've got plenty of investible capital, that might be enough. But, if you don't, it isn't. For me, an annual return of 12% just isn't enough when you figure in your time and trading fees and the fact that you're essentially selling covered calls on the underlying Qs and Diamonds. On the other hand, Kadavy states up front that this is a 'conservative' approach to using options. The best thing about this approach is that you no longer have to chose from the confusing universe of optionable securities, all you use here are QQQQ and DIA. Simple and conservative.



4. I'm was sitting on potential profits watching stocks go up and down
   now thanks to the step-by-step instructions I schnitzel a nice profit.



5. This book is fine for the "housewife," or "elementary teacher," or a "journalist or liberal arts graduate" who wants an elementary introduction into covered calls... and then only if... they have no finance, or financial analysis knowledge. But... if you've got that type of education and experience... take a pass.
   
   Any "B School" graduate could have written this book. The author fails to provide any real insight into the practical stratigies at the bottom of a market cycle, or specific "how to" guidance. Obviously, selling covered calls at the bottom of a market cycle, will yield very disappointing results. This is a strategy that's fine for the top of a market, or sideways market - but for the bottom of a market cycle, you're going to want to be on the buy side of the calls, or you're going to miss the big gains.
   
   Nor, does he provide any insight into "how to read the market trends" (technical analysis) to alert you as to what type of market you're in, or about to experience, which should guide your strategy.
   
   A more cycnical reviewer would suggest... the guy's a charlatan.
   
   But... hey... that's just me... I'm just sayin...

5 comments about Virtual Office Tools for a High Margin Practice: How Client-Centered Financial Advisors Can Cut Paperwork, Overhead, and Wasted Hours.

1. This book is an excellent resource for anyone starting up a financial planning office or seeking to make an existing office run more smoothly and efficiently. A survey of current systems, processes and technology to save a planner time and money. Dave and Joel know what they're talking about.



2. Are you stuck in the rut of working more and enjoying it less? Have you found your profits dropping while overhead skyrockets? Looking for a way to live your life the way you want to live? If so, buy this book today. In today's difficult investment climate many of us financial advisors have been trapped into doing more service duties, administrative functions and are making less. The authors are living our dream of enjoying the lifestyle we deserve. They show and demonstrate step-by-step complete with specific recommendations of software, hardware and technologies to improve your practice and help you make more money. This well written and extremely interesting book will give you hope and vision to make changes in your practice to enhance your quality of life. I bought this book because I am planning to spend more time in my condo in Colorado and needed ideas on how to do it. The authors delivered exactly what I need to know. As an extra bonus, Joel has been terrific about responding to my questions and emails. Thanks gentlemen; when's the next book coming out?



3. Dave Drucker and Joel Bruckenstein wrote a superb practical guide on running and growing a virtual office for financial planning practices. If you ever wondered about how to have more time for your family or personal life pursuits, asked how you could serve your clients better, or add increasingly higher profits in declining or flat markets, this practical guide, written by practicing financial advisors can do more for you than any professional designation after your name. For example, the ability of a virtual assistant a 1000 miles away to annote and populate a scanned document such as a brokerage application with only client specific information, obtain signatures, electronically copy and deliver forms to a brokerage within a few days saves financial planners like me time, money and frustration in dealing with paper document management. With the SEC stamp of approval, there is simply no better way to track and manage docuements. It is like moving from the automobile to the airplane. Leave the traffic jams behind and take your practice to a whole new level with this must-read guidebook.



4. I don't manage money for "outsiders", but I have a lot of paperwork to deal with just taking care of what I do for my "house accounts", and this book has given me great suggestions on how to minimize the paperwork while making it possible for me to actually find the receipts, contracts, account statements, and the like. It's a marvelous fount of information for the consumer of financial advice as well as for those who spend their day dispensing advice.



5. While I'm sure this book was great when it came out over 5-years ago. Now the book is very out of date and not very usefull. David Drucker should pull this book from the shelfs and give it a major update.
