Quote from indahook:
Do yourself a huge favor and learn about selling covered calls. Its an excellent strat for long term investors. When you have long term stock positions that are going nowhere/down and you dont want to sell you can create income that will reduce cost basis. It is a conservative strat that many have built wealth using.
That's what I'm doing with my position in EGO. The sold calls have helped minimize the damage in this long term position and this little run up will give me a chance to make this position a winner.
In this market, covered calls is the perfect strategy.
