Here's another RED HOTT, Covered Call / Cash Secured Put "Tip and Trick of the Month!"
With the stock market rallying to all time highs (seemingly everyday), many of the stocks we own and write covered calls on are moving past our strike prices. Typically this means our shares will be taken away but probably the biggest fear or disappointment is that we're losing all that UPside. What seemed like a good trade THEN is NOW feeling like we're left holding the bag as the stock goes higher and higher … trust me, I know the feeling but in these cases we need to consider two things and I hope you learn something:
  1. What goes Up 'usually' comes back down - The way I see it … most stocks don't just ROCKET HIGHER … they move in a range that we can exploit. Check a BMY chart to see that it 'typically' trades in a 10 point range … with no news, Wall Street seems to run it up, then pull it back … understanding that I don't get frustrated when a stock jumps higher … because (at least with the stocks I'm trading) with patience those same stocks that rocket higher will come back down giving me another chance to play them for another covered call and or a cash secured put. I guess what I'm saying is this … stocks will move higher and higher in this market … but many of those same stocks will come back …maybe not down to your original purchase price but they will fade back … you just have to have the conviction to buy back into them and execute you're selling premium plan.
  2. Learn your Covered Call Exit Strategies - Hate to sound like a broken record, but you need to understand how to use "Exit Strategies" so you can make an educated decision if it makes sense to buy back an option to take further action … whether that is selling the stock or writing the next covered call. Below are a couple good video's on the topic… be sure to LEARN THIS STUFF!!!  :)




See you NEXT month and I hope you enjoyed my first CPT Newsletter!

"Hey look, until next time, may all YOUR Covered Calls be profitable"

The Poor Man's Real Estate - Covered Call Writing to collect monthly income checks



On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 2:09 PM, John Greathouse <johngreathouse51@gmail.com> wrote:
The idea is simple ... Real Estate investors buy a property and rent it out to collect monthly rental income ... hoping to both collect a profit and pay down the debt of the loan costs for purchasing the rental property. Real Estate investors hope to not incur many expenses throughout the year to ensure profitability. 

Covered Call Writers essentially do the same thing but instead of using properties they use stocks.

Let me explain what a Covered Call is ...  The option strategy where you 'Write a Covered Call' is simple ... the person writing the covered call owns at least 100 shares of stock, has the ability to sell options against it ... that person will sell someone the right but not the obligation to take theirs shares away from them for a certain price (seller dictates) and time frame determined by that same seller ... for that right, the seller gets paid a per share Premium that they keep regardless if his/her shares are ever taken away. 

Google it and you get this -  Covered call writing is simply the selling of this right to someone else in exchange for cash paid today. ... A call option is a contract that gives the buyer of the option the legal right (but not the obligation) to buy 100 shares of the underlying stock at the strike price any time before the expiration date.Feb 9, 2017

Typically Covered Call writers do this for 30 days generating a premium (mentioned above) of 3% cash on cash 20 day return on investment.

Quick example would be ... say you own ABC stock at $50 and want to sell someone the right to take your shares from you at $55 and you want to give them just 30 days to make that decision ... someone will pay you $1 per share, up front for that right. That $1 the seller (ie, owner of the shares) keeps regardless if the shares of ABC stock gets to $55 or not. Its payment for the right to buy them.

Generating $100 in 30 days ... $100 (the Covered Call premium) on $5,000 invested ($50 a share for ABC stock for 100 shares) is  +2% gain for 30 days. If his shares are taken away at $55... the Covered Call Writer makes that additional $5 per share ... or a total of $6 profit or $600 or a 12% 20 day gain.

Does THAT interest you? Well, I've done countless Covered Calls generating $300 and $400 a month on one stock ... typically I use 5 or 6 stocks collecting an average of $3,300 a month in 2017.

I DON'T want to bore you reading a 9 page blog ... I have done many video's on this topic and will share the video links below if you're interested in continuing your learning.
