Unsolicted CallWriter Testimonials
Real People, Real Results

 

I'm John Brasher, CallWriter Publisher.

I talk a lot about getting a 3% to 5% monthly return using my highly successful covered call trading strategy - the CallWriter Method. If you're wondering whether any of our members actually achieve such a return (yes, they do), then read on!

I'd like you to read what happy, satisfied CallWriter members have to say about our service and the results they've gotten over the years with us...



CallWriter Value

"I authorize debit to my Amex card in payment of the first year for Call Writer. The 2nd trade already paid for the year! You have a great service!" D. Carrigan, Champaign, IL
"Hi John...I have been a subscriber to CallWriter over a year now and with this under my belt, I feel that I have a bit of authority to offer my perspective. During this year I have had some nice returns on my investments and some really lousy ones. I keep close records of what I do and I have discovered that, without exception, the trades that turned out poorly were ones in which I did something that was contrary to the advice you give in the instruction pieces. Hopefully I am learning from each experience; it is one thing to read about a technique to use or a position to avoid but quite another to put that information into practice when needed.  I have come up with my new motto:  Failure does not come from ignorance as much as not applying what we already know. I look forward to our continued association and my better application of your advice." B. Bates, Powell, Ohio

"I've made a ton of money using your service. I have been an active call writer for years but your site makes it so much easier to find the good trades. I have told several friends that "want to do what I do" about your site. Unfortunately most people will never take the 1st step to increasing their wealth. My friends just think I am some sort of money wizard or just very lucky. Little do they know how easy it is!" S. McCormick, Edina, MN
"OK, John Brasher, you've put up the ultimate site. I can do all my research and never leave CallWriter until I punch "T" to trade with optionsXpress. Thanks for your great tools and links."  T. Evans, Kiowa, CO
"Thanks John, for your clear and prompt response. I understand now much better the dilemma in my original question. I am understanding a little better now how to use both of your great tools together - the Calculator and the Lists. Thanks again John. Great web-site, great service, great example of 'Knowledge is Power' - translate to 'Learning is Profitable'!"  F. Huber, Maryland
"John, thank you for the reply. Your website is awesome, well worth the price!" W. Minnery, Ohio

"This was a really good article!! I guess you know I'm compiling quite a notebook from your training materials and your newsletters.  I was thinking about my attitude and calm feeling last Friday.  I have an Apple position with a cost basis of $47.27.  I have a Nov $65 short call which I sold 10/31 for $.65 credit.  When Apple fell $1.50 a share, I didn't sweat and worry like I usually would.  I found myself realizing that if good old apple would fall a little more, I'd keep my stock and that would be JUST FINE.  On the other hand, If I get assigned I'm selling my stock for $60 and that is, again, JUST FINE.  Thanks for helping me bring calm to my trading again!!  I really like your service and the great reasoned way you teach the Covered Call trade." Regards, R. Holmes, N. Carolina

"Just signed up for 2 month trial. Your articles alone are worth the 79.95 fee." H. Hanono, California
"Thanks for the very informative descriptions. Personally, I like Covered Calls because I understand the theory and always have made money on my trades. Your help is greatly appreciated." Sincerely, A.G. McClay, Florida

Real Traders, Real Returns

"I have been happy with my CallWriter results! I deposited $5500 and in the 4 months since, the account has grown nearly 20% - just $37 shy of a $1000 increase."   Ben W., Orlando, FL
"I think I have been a subscriber for a month now and I would like to relate my experience. I bought IIJI for $10.01 on July 11, sold a JUL 10 for $.55, bought it back on July 13 for $.15 and then sold IIJI AUG 10 for $.90 for a combined return of 13% or $1300 on a $10,010 investment. Earlier in July I bought OVTI for $14.53 sold a July 15 for $.83 for a 5.7% return or $830 on a $14,530 investment. The illustrated trades are from the stocks that I got from your web site. I think if I had more time I would do even better. $79.95 per month, are you kidding? Awesome value. Thank you kindly," R. Stephens, Orlando, FL
"I am in the last days of the 10-day free trial and I'm convinced. Please sign me up for the quarterly billing of your service on the credit card info currently in my account. I've made 2 trades while in the trial period and made over 8% in a week. Of course, I was blessed with a good market and I certainly don't expect that kind of return. Your stated 3% per month is my target."  W. Manley, Missouri City, TX
"I attended your presentation last night and I thought it was very informative. I've been using your system for the past eleven months and have averaged better than 4% returns per month, yet I still learned something last night which will help me to increase my rate of returns."   S. Chanzes, Florida
"Hi John, I don't know if you remember the GT trade I entered back in February or not but it closed successfully today. Here's the story... Just closed a covered call option trade today on Goodyear Tire. Was way cool. Took 5 months to complete. Two days after I placed the trade buying 8,000 shares of stock (and selling 80 call contracts), the company came out with an "accounting irregularities" memorandum. Since then I've been in repair mode. It closed very successfully in the end and I made $10,590 in profits after commissions! Invested a little under $40K. Used 2:1 margin. Made 26% total profit after commissions or a tad under 5% per month! Sold GT right at the high, too. Am delighted about the trade." D. Elliott, Massachusetts

Experienced Call Writers See the Value

"Thanks for your timely response...... I've researched every CC site I could find and you top the list for reality as I have previously experienced it......your site and newsletter confirm so much of what I went through in 2003 ......I appreciate the absence of smoke and mirrors......so refreshing."  A. Morris, Jacksonville, FL
"John, I took the time today to really look at your program. My goodness, what a real winner you have put together. Anyone, and I do mean, anyone that does not see the value in your service has not been down "the golden path" of all the BS that is out there. My compliments to you. I will be taking advantage of your offer of the 2-fer! You have a customer. Many thanks for you time on the phone. One other compliment. Your educational material is clearly stated, helpful, and literate, all unusual in the IT and financial industries."  J. Nance, Fairview, Texas
"I have been successfully using your covered call system for a few years and it works well in a rising market, flat market, and even a choppy market." D. Strohl, Indianapolis, IN
"I have been a long time subscriber and have used the info on the lists for many trades. I average about 5% per month on my money with covered calls, which I am extremely happy with. Thanks again for the upgrades and keep up the excellent work." D. McAlister, Overgaard, AZ
"I just started with your service and am finding it very good. I have been doing buy writes for about 15 years now and your service is the first real help I have seen."  Phil Barker, Utah

New Traders' Experiences with CallWriter

"John, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your great team. I consider myself a blundering novice (you are no doubt aware from the questions I have asked - makes me blush when I think about them!) and this is the first time I have entered into trading. You will be pleased to know that with margin I have made a return of some 18% from a total of 10 trades over the period November/December 2004. Every single one is a winner.

"For those who are still in doubt about call writing, all I did was follow the Callwriting rules on your site and read the Trade Coach religiously. Your wonderful support team has also shown incredible patience and fantastic support to all my,..ur.. blundering queries. Thank you indeed for your wonderful service."  S. Gardner, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"Do you mind if I share these results with others? I want to make the point that Callwriter is very conservative with the members' money because I have had people that are skeptical since they have been burned in the stock market. I am very pleased with the results so far - since I opened my account and the first trade as of July 30, 2003 I am up 16.9%. Most people I know would be ecstatic with those results." David M., Grand Rapids, MI
"I made my first covered call in January. I bought 2000 shares of SNDK for $24.11 sold 20 February 27.50 for $1500 in premium. The stock went down and I bought my position back for $300, then sold 20 February 25's for $1500. The stock was called away at $25 and I picked up the difference of 24.11 and 25 which boosted my profit another $1780 for an even 10% after commissions."  Robert S., Apopka, FL
"Your explanation about ITM options was very informative and greatly appreciated. I have studied your tutorials and gleaned pertinent information about ITM calls which I did not find in any books, which leads me to wonder if the authors ever traded options or are just expounding on theory.  Receiving in-depth information from a real trader is always valued." D. Budd, Toronto

CallWriter Works for Overseas Traders, Too

"You will be pleased to know that with margin I have made a return of some 18% from a total of 10 trades over the period November/December 2004. Every single one is a winner. Thank you indeed for your wonderful service." S. Gardner, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

"Thanks for your suggestions John. As a new subscriber down under, I'm extremely impressed with your service and valuable site content." Regards, C. Seidel, Australia
"By the way, I find your website very useful and I especially find that the newsletter archives are particularly well written, and easily understood. In fact, I find that you have the knack of making everything appear quite simple (even subjects that probably are not)." T. O'Callaghan, Ireland
"Your explanation about ITM options was very informative and greatly appreciated. I have studied your tutorials and gleaned pertinent information about ITM calls which I did not find in any books, which leads me to wonder if the authors ever traded options or are just expounding on theory.  Receiving in-depth information from a real trader is always valued." D. Budd, Toronto

Praise for Our Real Time Lists™

"I just want you to know that I absolutely LOVE this CallWriter site!! What criteria do you use to get these lists because all of these stocks are awesome writes!!!" Leah M., Arizona

"EXCELLENT I'VE BEEN DOING C.CALLS FOR SOME TIME BUT I'VE NEVER HAD THIS INFORMATION. LOVE IT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK." D. Dube, Connecticut
"I have trial periods with a few other covered call writing services but will drop them as I really like your site the best. I like the Real Time lists updated throughout the day as opposed to end-of-day lists available elsewhere. I also like the info you put on the Real Time list plus the ease of researching each stock right from the list. I also think your educational material is top notch and am avidly studying it." W. Manley, Missouri City, TX
"By the way, kudos to your CallWriter program. Your lists are great and that calculator thing is slicker than snot. Fascinating to sit at the computer and play with both of them." John White, Oregon
"I am amazed at how many stocks still look good to trade as of today - the day before expiration. I just checked the call writer site. I would have expected the premiums to be tiny at this late date." D. Nickel, New Jersey

Our Amazing Trade Management Calculator™

"Your calculator is truly amazing! In my opinion, it is the crown jewel of your site. In fact, it was the reason I was able to close my trades early and get the returns I did rather than passively sitting there waiting until Feb. expiration." Thanks, W. Manley, Missouri City, TX

"Thanks again for your excellent website and commentary. The Calculator is great!" Regards, J. Gorin, Huntsville, AL
"I've gotten pretty spoiled using CallWriter's tools, and if I did not have the CallWriter trade management calculator available to me, I would not bother writing covered calls, because trade management would be too time consuming, too much of a pain without it. Especially when you’re managing a lot of positions. It's hard to believe a trading system can be so easy to learn and apply as yours, but the results don't lie." David S. - Costa Mesa, CA
"CallWriter has been an excellent tool in finding excellent companies with rich premiums. But perhaps the most valuable tool has been the CallWriter Calculator. Yesterday, I was able to unwind DELL at a nice 5% profit, having been in the trade for only 10 days. The calculator made it easy to see that by buying back the call and selling the appreciated stock, it made sense to unwind the trade. Another successful example that the calculator helped me with yesterday is UNH. It has proven to me that even in a mildly downtrending market, money can be made with covered calls. What a novel idea!" B. Winder, Oregon

TeleLab Trading Conference Calls

"Your discussion of RMBS during the last conference call (TeleLab) was prescient. It turned out to be more volatile than anyone else on the call expected. Fortunately, I wasn't in it." Fred C., Las Vegas

"I just wanted to say thank you for a great tele-seminar last night. It was very educational (good refresher) and informative, as well as enjoyable. It is always a pleasure for me to listen to you speak and I always learn something from you." Best regards, R.L. Jacobs, Dayton, MD
"I've paid for seminars where I didn't learn as much useful covered call trading information as I've gotten on the last two telelab calls. I still can't believe what a bargain Callwriter is." Arch Turner, Little Rock
"I'm a longtime trader and CallWriter subscriber. I listened to the last recorded call for members and got a lot out of it.” D. McAlister, Overgaard, AZ
"I wanted to say Thank you for last evening's Telelab. It was a pleasure. As you spoke I jotted notes and and as I keep mulling your first question, "Would I want to own this stock?" My perception for the use of covered calls has changed. I can see where a portfolio of quality want-to-own stocks can turn into a cash cow trading covered calls. Thank you again,"  J. Ziomek, New York

Using CallWriter for Other Trading Strategies

"I enjoyed the program tonight.  I learned several things I didn't know about the site.  I really am enjoying using it and have had several really good trades from the data. I'm using it to find good spread trade candidates too.  I know that high implied volatility is a part of making the lists and those are good prospects for credit trades too.  I really look forward to your member's class you mentioned tonight. I sure want to be included in that." Thanks again, R. Holmes, N. Carolina

"John, on 6-1-05 I STO DAQFD June Call @$1.35 and I BTC ON 6-9-05 @ $0.15 for a $ 1.20 profit. Additionally, on 6-1-05 I STO DAQRW Put @ $1.30 and today I BTC@ $O.25 for a $1.05 profit. The total profit on the transaction is $ 2.25. I am very pleased with this result and I am looking forward to similar profits. "OK" I know this is not a run of the mill trade but I would never had the opportunity without Callwriter." Regards,” C. Liebold, St. Clair Shores, MI
"Your deep OTM list is perfect for naked calls and bear call spreads. When you told me you originally invented it for naked calls, I thought the idea was inspired. I look for situations with a strong resistance level below the short or naked strike and pocket that premium." David S. - Costa Mesa, CA
