Covered Calls Strategy

Covered Calls Strategy

We recommend you treat stock as a commodity, traded to generate monthly income. When writing covered calls it's important that you like the stock's short-term potential and to buy stock that's going up.

By writing covered calls, you're making monthly income by selling upside potential of stock to speculators. It's to your advantage if the stock is called away. If you sell low risk ITM covered calls, your profit ((strike price+premium) - stock cost) is locked in when you sell the covered calls.

S&P 500 has now erased 100% of the bull market from 2002 to 2007


The S&P 500 has now erased 100% of the bull market from 2002 to 2007. Like the lost city of Atlantis, the bull market we enjoyed from 2002 to 2007 has now been relegated to the status of legends. People may talk about it for generations, but looking at the levels of the major indices, there is no longer any proof that it ever existed.
