Good Covered Calls What Makes a Good Covered Call? One that pays a good premium of course. There's no use in selling a covered call if you're not compensated for your risk. Covered call selling is regarded as a conservative strategy, but the covered call seller is at risk if the underlying stock drops. What makes a premium a good premium? At Optionistics the Covered Call Report identifies the calls that are trading with the highest premiums each day. Profit on a Flat Stock (BA, JNJ, KO, MSFT, SBUX) Since its bottom on March 6 of last year, the S&P 500 has made a historic rally -- about 65% -- rivaling what we saw coming out of the Great Depression in 1938. However, if you take a gander at the years following 1938, you see -- after that big market rebound -- that stocks were relatively flat for a handful of years, including about 10% declines in both 1940 and 1941. If you were an investor back then, you were left twiddling your thumbs, merely hoping for additional gains from the market at some point. These days, we're more fortunate. The market may end up being flat for a few years after its recent jump, but stock options, launched in the 1970s, give even a conservative investor ways to profit when a stock is flat. The benefits of covered callsThe most common option strategy to profit if a stock stays flat, or goes down modestly, is also the most conservative: covered calls. In exchange for the contract, you get paid an option premium up front, and you keep that payment.
