What is the Optioneering Strategy The Optioneering Strategy is an options trading strategy that was developed and perfected over the past 4 1/2 years. The options strategy finds its roots in market statistics and is designed to minimize risk. The fundamental difference between the Optioneering strategy and any other stock or options trading strategy available today is that the Optioneering Strategy is a "Reactive Strategy". Practically all stock picking and option trading strategies (books and websites) are focused on helping investors more accurately "predict" the direction of a stock or the underlying market. With the Optioneering Strategy you don't need to predict which way the market is going to go you just need to react to it. Trying to predict what a stock or the stock market will do tomorrow, next week or next hour is impossible for the average investor. The number of inputs that move the markets on a day to day, hour by hour, minute by minute time frame are impossible to comprehend. Earnings, politics, economic data, geopolitical news, weather, terrorism, commodities, interest rates, the Fed, etc all move the markets. How can anyone possibly predict where the market will go next week, next month or next year with all these variables? Well some people out there claim they can. The spectrum is broad form charlatans who operate websites making ridiculous claims to professional financial advisers. Lets reflect on this for a moment. If you am ill, you see your doctor, you expect with a high degree of confidence that he/she will come to a diagnosis that is accurate and prescribe the necessary medication to see that you get better. How can a financial adviser "diagnose" the markets, a disease with constantly changing symptoms. They may claim they can but I would bet statistically they are no better than flipping a coin. Safety First A key objective of the Optioneering Strategy is to minimize risk. A strategy whereby if a loss were to occur it would not wipe out months of profit or wipe us out completely like so many other option strategies. The basic strategy is founded on establishing setup positions each month that generate a profit consistently. The setups involve a combination of debit calendar spreads and reverse credit calendar spreads. There are 7 basic rules, 4 on setup and 3 for closing. If you follow the rules losses will remain small and profits will be maximized. A lot of other books on option strategies will tell you how the strategies work but they won't tell you how to consistently generate profits by applying them. They still require you to correctly "bet" on market direction. Applying standard option trading strategies in a predictive manner is no better than flipping a coin and runs the risk of generating large losses. Minimal Capital I started with $20,000, but one could easily get started with as little as $5000 to $10,000. The Optioneering Strategy is structured to minimized risk and margin. It is a brilliantly leveraged, yet a well hedged strategy that generates a profit 84% of the time. Over 4 1/2 years I grew $20,000 to over $200,000. During that period I placed 44 trade set ups of which 37 generated a profit and 7 resulted in a loss. The average or 37 monthly profits was $5,350 and the average of 7 monthly losses was $1950. Minimal Time Invested Other than making money saving time is the second best part of the strategy. Most days I spend 1 to 2 minutes a day just checking the market. Really just keeping an eye on it in the event I need to "react" to the market action. On my setup days it takes me about 10 minutes to get my order in and set. That's it! Minimal time invested. I don't need to know the news that drives the market and I don't really care. I only need to react to the market if it moves to prescribed limits we establish with each setup trade. "Getting time back is the best part of the Optioneering Strategy. I can focus on work and spend more time with my family" Less Stress and Anxiety With the Optioneering Strategy you place the exact same type of trades every month at the same time, regardless of what the market has done or is doing. There are a total of 7 rules to follow and they guide you on setting up the trade and exiting the trade. Investment stress and anxiety are rooted in trying to decide if you should buy, sell or hold your positions. With the Optioneering Strategy there is none of that as you have certainly in what to do when entering and exiting every trade. Getting Started Whether you are familiar with options or not the Optioneering Strategy is written with the novice in mind. Not only will it inform you of what you need to know but walks you through every trade placed over the past 4 1/2 years. Every trade contains a chart, historic options chain data and commentary on every trade. The Optioneering Strategy allows you to take control of your financial future. That's what I did and I'm now sharing this experience with you.

The European DayWater project has developed a prototype of an Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) related to urban stormwater pollution source control. The DayWater ADSS greatly facilitates decision-making for stormwater source control, which is currently impeded by the large number of stakeholders involved and by the necessary multidisciplinary knowledge. This book presents the results of this project, providing new insights into both technical and management issues. The main objectives of its technical chapters are pollution source control modelling, risk and impact assessment, and evaluation and comparison of best management practices. It also covers management aspects, such as the analysis of the decision-making processes in stormwater source control, at a European scale, and stormwater management strategies in general. The combination of scientific-technical and socio-managerial knowledge, with the strong cooperation of numerous end-users, reflects the innovative character of this book which includes actual applications of the ADSS prototype in significant case studies. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management contains 26 chapters collectively prepared by DayWater scientific partners and end-users associated with this European Research and Development project. It includes: A general presentation of the DayWater Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) structure and operation modes A detailed description of the major components of this ADSS prototype The assessment of its components in significant case studies in France, Germany and Sweden The proceedings of the International Conference on Decision Support Systems for Integrated Urban Water Management, held in Paris on 3-4 November 2005. The book presents the ADSS prototype including a combination of freely accessible on-line databases, guidance documents, “road maps” and modelling or multi-criteria analysis tools. As demonstrated in several significant case studies the challenge for stormwater managers is to make the benefits of urban stormwater management visible to society, resulting in active co-operation of a diversity of stakeholders. Only then, will sustainable management succeed. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management advances this cause of sustainable urban management through Urban stormwater management, and makes achievable (by means of risk and vulnerability tools which are included) the goal of integrated urban water management (IUWM).

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is revolutionising architecture and construction, as more and more practices are realising the benefits it brings to design, sustainability, and construction. There is a perception that BIM is a process best left to large practices – requiring significant resources and the ability to invest heavily in IT.

The report was designed to meet the needs of developing countries by focusing on the most simple, affordable and reliable techniques and discussing their advantages and limitations.

This open access book presents theoretical and practical research relating to the vast, publicly financed program for the construction of new schools and the reorganization of existing educational buildings in Italy. This transformative process aims to give old buildings a fresh identity, to ensure that facilities are compliant with the new educational and teaching models, and to improve both energy efficiency and structural safety with respect to seismic activity. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses on the social role of the school as a civic building that can serve the needs of the community. Innovations in both design and construction processes are then analyzed, paying special attention to the Building Information Modeling (BIM) strategy as a tool for the integration of different disciplines. The final section is devoted to the built heritage and tools, technologies, and approaches for the upgrading of existing buildings so that they meet the new regulations on building performance. The book will be of interest to all who wish to learn about the latest insights into the challenges posed by, and the opportunities afforded by, a comprehensive school building and renovation program.
