"Despite all the problems and oft-quoted risks in executing option transactions, I believe that there are enough benefits available to make option strategy a helpful tool for most investors."—from the Preface Originally published almost a decade ago, LeRoy Gross's authoritative, yet highly accessible book has been the only resource available for conservative investors looking to further their investment goals with options. Now, with a new Introduction by the bestselling author Larry McMillan, The Conservative Investor's Guide to Trading Options has been updated to help market practitioners of the present garner the same rewards reaped by investors of the past. Using the clear, balanced approach he used with his clients during a long career in the securities industry, Gross explores the various options strategies most frequently employed with individual stocks, examines the risk factors associated with each, and offers a unique perspective on how to use options as a hedging tool. From buy stock/write call to sell stock/buy call, the strategies covered are designed to help investors be better able to increase stock income, reduce stock risk, and seek stock profits. In addition to recommended systems, Gross also points out those that conservative investors should avoid, including naked call writing, calendar spread, and call option butterfly spread. With clear, easy-to-understand explanations, here's where you'll find complete details on: Reading and understanding option tables Entering option orders Negotiating commission discounts Understanding the language of options trading with a complete glossary Filled with practical examples and no-nonsense information, this is essential reading for all those who want to expand their portfolios using conservative option strategies. A classic guide to safe and profitable options strategies for conservative investors—now updated "Derivatives have become an important tool for an ever-increasing number of investors. The broad definition of 'derivatives' includes options, futures, and many more exotic instruments that are conjured up by the leading investment banks. For most stock-oriented investors, though, the term predominantly refers to stock options. The virtual explosion in trading of stock options attests to their importance. Still, there are many who do not yet understand what stock options are or how they can be of benefit to an investor. This book is for those investors."—from the Foreword by Larry McMillan

ATCs are all the rage!Making artist trading cards (ATCs) is a hugely popular activity for artists. Originally a paper/collage-based art form, ATCs have caught on with crafters working in a range of mediums and are now just as popular among fabric and mixed-media artists. ATCs are mini art works, the size of a playing card, often created as limited editions. The back of each card contains the artist's name and contact information. The idea behind the cards is to make them and then give, trade, or share them with others. This collection inspires with 1,000 original cards in a beautiful pageant of color, composition, and creative use of materials. The book also includes a special section devoted to explaining what ATCs are, how to get started, and includes some exciting technique information. Curated by Patricia Bolton, founder and editor-in-chief of two of the most exciting creative magazines on the newsstands, the book meets the Quarry Books mission of offering artistic and challenging new ideas to traditional paper artists, scrapbookers, mixed-media artists, and quilters by merging paper, fabric, and surface embellishment through experimentation and discovery.

Praise for Big Trends In Trading "Price combines the sciences of contrarian investing, technical analysis, and option valuation in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. He has always been well known for his thorough and accurate research, and he shows why in Big Trends in Trading. Serious traders will benefit from reading this book." –Lawrence G. McMillan, President of McMillan Analysis Corp. "Price Headley takes a dynamic view of such popular indicators as sentiment and volatility because he knows that the markets are not static but are always changing, and he shows you how to change with them. In addition, he tests the majority of his work and shows the success rates. A rare combination, and a must read for new and experienced traders alike." –Thom Hartle, President of Market Analytics, Inc. "This book should prove to be valuable reading for all technically oriented traders and investors. By emphasizing the ‘big trends,’ Headley stresses the importance of concentrating only in the most profitable situations–and tells you how to find them. I personally like his choice of technical indicators–and his unique way of using them. I also like his coverage of money management and the mental aspect of trading–which are just as important as the trading system employed–but too often neglected. All in all, an outstanding piece of work." –John Murphy, author of Intermarket Technical Analysis, The Visual Investor, and Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets, and President of MurphyMorris, Inc.
