A volatility indicator

Red indicates that volatility is in a squeeze.   That is, that volatility is low

 

 

The two most important reasons for setting up a covered call:

  • Reduce cost basis of buying a stock
  • Hedge an existing stock portfolio if you already own 100 shares of a stock.
  • Covered calls are profitable even if the stock down’t move
Covered calls are profitable unless the stock moves down below the break even price.  

A covered call reduces the cost basis of buying a stock by accepting a premium for selling a put above the stock price.  
 

If you were to sell the 105 put for a premium of 5 dollars.  The collected premium effectively lowers the cost basis of buying 100 shares of the stock at 100 dollars to buying the 100 dollars of shares at 95 dollars.  The break even price is now 95 dollars.

Option Basics

Introduction

Same risk profile as a short put

Use to reduce the cost basis if you want to purchase a stock by selling a put against the purchase

You need to think of this in contrast to buying a stock outright

 

 

Setting Up a Covered Call

FYI- Would rather use strategies that sell premium rather than using debit spreads

Set up in low volatility environments

Straddle the stock price

Buy an ITM option and Sell an equidistant or slightly closer OTM option

Set up so that the break even is just around the stock price or ideally even just a little bit better

Debit spreads reduce the cost basis of the long option- caps the upside but reduces the max loss increasing your probability of success
