Part 9: Covered call

A covered call is when an investor sells a call (typically out-of-the-money), but owns the underlying equity. In exchange for giving someone else the right to buy the stock you own at a specific strike price within a set time frame, you receive a premium. It is a common strategy that investors use to earn additional income from their stock positions without typically taking on a large amount of risk.
