Dividends strategy selling covered calls
This is a continuation of one of my previous posts where I talked about losing $3000 in one trade. I have figured out what market strategy im going to use going forward.
I'm changing strategy, I'm now converting to a dividend strategy with 90% of my account I'm going to accumulate dividend paying companies and accumulate dividends.
I'm getting killed with the option strategies I'm trying. Can't take the losses. Just an fyi.
The only gain I have managed to make over the past two years have been on some small accounts where I have purchased small amounts of dividend stocks. I'm up on those accounts by roughly 20-30%.
Imaging if I took the money the I was investing in options over that time and just collected dividend stocks and used a strategy called selling covered calls on one in particular bac.
Selling covered calls is a strategy you use when your bullish on a stock and believe that it will continue to go up in value. It also gives you some downside protection.
Buy 100 shares of the company stock.
Sell a call against the stock you purchased.
Take note of the strike price of the call you sell. lets say it was microsoft stock you bought 100 shares at $90 a share. If you sell a call that expires in two months at. the $92 strike you would collect $150 in premium for selling the call plus whatever the stock appreciates to by expiration.
If the stock goes past the strike price of $92 the stock can get called away, but you would make the full premium $350. Thats 175 a month.
I will update you on my progress, stock picks, and gains or losses going forward.
Im still investing in crypto currencies like bitcoin, eos, etherium, ripple stemmit and some others.
