Writing Covered Calls
-
Many investors think writing options (i.e., covered calls) is an easy way to generate cash. But there's more to it than meets the eye.
There are many decisions for investors to make before they get into covered call writing. For example, what kind of stocks should they purchase to maximize their call writing potential? What are their profit targets for the options they write? How can they maximize profits without losing their shares? And so on, and so on.
Looks like it's not as easy as it seems, and it requires some study in order to improve your chances of success.
