i cant believe people can get away with making these kinds of claims anymore.selling covered calls in a bear market is just as risky as owning stocks.
 
Like a fool I did this for quite a while, although pre the bear market. It is a great learning tool but an expensive one as the number one lesson is not to do it. Put this strategy on an option risk graph and you will see it is exactly like selling a naked put. In Thinkorswims' flashing comment section at least once a day they mention the analogy of the risk graph. On the good side of the strategy, is how deeply it impresses on you the importance of the action of the underlying as to whether you win or lose.:) I still chuckle because I made money on Enron in the $70s, had it called away and then left it totally alone.
 
It's very easy to get locked into single level thinking.

Covered Calls are not without risk. I prefer to trade naked options, calls or puts depending on various factors, and find it quite profitable.

There are ways to lock in profits with options, making them risk free.

Good luck,

But this rarely involves taking the "outright" position - usually you have to start with the synthetic equivalent in order to do this correctly.

Good luck trading to all,

This guy sums it up - I think...


People always get excited when they hear about this strategy called ‘covered call writing.' They like the idea of picking up income - who doesn't - but rarely grasp the significance of the fact when the train leaves the station heading north, they won't be on it.

I agree...I know a woman who inherited 5 million dollars of
Tandy stock from her grandfather. She had already decided she would never sell, but she let her stockbroker convince her she couldn't lose writing covered calls
on a large chunk of it when it was around 11 dollars a share.

The stock surged to 35 or so, and the calls had a strike of
15...ouch.
