Options for Risk-Free Portfolios
by Michael C. ThomsettAn advanced strategic approach using options to reduce market risks while augmenting dividend income, Options for Risk Free Portfolios moves beyond the basics of stocks and options. It shows how the three major segments (stocks, dividends, and options) are drawn together into a single and effective strategy to maximize income while eliminating market risk. The concept is that by rolling into stock positions right before ex-date by opening a collar, and then closing out or exercising right afterwards, the stock's stated dividend rate is annualized at 300% of the stated annual yield (for example, three stocks each yielding a 4% quarterly dividend yield 12% per year because dividends are earned monthly instead of quarterly). At the same time, downside risk is eliminated with the long put, and that put is paid for with the income from the short call.
Options for Volatile Markets: Managing Volatility and Protecting Against Catastrophic Risk (Bloomberg Financial #143)
by Richard Lehman Lawrence G. McMillanPractical option strategies for the new post-crisis financial market Traditional buy-and-hold investing has been seriously challenged in the wake of the recent financial crisis.

In addition, they discuss new offerings like weekly expirations and options on ETFs. For investors who are looking to capitalize on global investment opportunities but are fearful of lurking "black swans", this book shows how ETFs and options can be utilized to construct portfolios that are continuously protected against unforeseen calamities.

Options in Alliances: Valuing Flexibility in Inter-Firm Collaborations
by Francesco BaldiThe real options-based conceptual framework for alliance-making presented here responds to the challenge of developing a new metrics for managing strategic partnerships in the face of uncertainty. Such a framework involves: mapping (and selecting one of) the various staged paths envisioned for the start-up and development of the alliance in terms of strategic options exercisable over the lifetime of the cooperative venture; assessing the incremental, synergistic value of those options (if exercised on the net, tangible and intangible, assets of the venture); anticipating the potential impact of risks on the success/failure of the venture and associated synergistic value erosion; defining the optimal option map for implementing the strategic alliance via potential, successive adjustments to the initial strategy (information loop is closed).

Options to Increase Access to Telecommunications Services in Rural and Low-Income Areas
by Juan Navas-Sabater Arturo Muente-KunigamiTelecommunications sector policy-makers and regulators have a wide range of instruments available to them that can be used to increase access to telecommunications services in rural and low-income areas. The paper provides a review of these instruments, evaluating them against a set of criteria. It then goes on to identify a number of them that are worthy of further consideration by policy-makers and regulators while demonstrating that the effectiveness of the identified instruments can be greatly enhanced by the establishment of a conducive legal, regulatory and institutional framework. The paper concludes by confirming that while no single instrument taken in isolation can provide a full solution to universal access, a mix of the measures identified can be devised to achieve specific policy objectives in a particular country environment.

Or Something Worse: Why We Need to Disrupt the Climate Transition
by Nicholas BeuretThe push for net zero has become a new arena for class conflict, where the powerful profit and the rest suffer. Nicholas Beuret's incisive critique and actionable strategies empower us to fight for a truly sustainable and equitable future.Or Something Worse exposes the bleak realities of the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. Greening the economy has become a one-sided war, as governments and businesses squeeze the living standards of ordinary people. We need to seize control of the transition in order to reshape it to equitable ends.Existing policies won&’t limit global heating to anything close to a safe level. Claims of sustainability disguise a zero-sum battle where the powerful profit and everyone else foots the bill. Green growth was supposed to bring increased wealth for all. Instead, work has been degraded, energy bills have soared, and the most basic necessities have become expensive and scarce.We need to disrupt green capitalism. Nicholas Beuret follows those already fighting back through &‘don&’t pay&’ campaigns, blockades of fossil-fuel infrastructure, and community counter-planning. He shows we have the tools not only to stop climate change but to build a fairer future.
