[@paretous_x7044]

Thanks for the video - a good starting point for those new to selling Calls .. the point that no one mentions to new traders, is that this premium you collect when you sell the call is not yours (yet) - and some would then go and trade that cash to buy something else - then get into problems when the stock price goes up and the covered calls starts making a loss .. and they can't buy it back cause they tied the cash .. need to be super careful about that scenario .. cause your broker may close out any position you hold in that case - another point is, don't wait to 10%, i buy back at 50% .. then wait till the stock price goes up again, see an upcoming resistance, then sell the covered call above resistance.. never sell a call when the stock price is at low or lower than your breakeven,.. you can lose a lot

[@constitutionalright827]

@@paretous_x7044 Clearly you have no idea how a covered call works. The premium you collect is in fact yours. Nothing can be done to "take away" the premium. Don't confuse people with comments like, if the stock price goes up and you want to buy to close, you might not have enough cash because you "tied" it. Further you confuse people by saying when the covered call starts making a loss. The "loss" on a covered call also has nothing to do with the premium you were already paid beyond the cost to buy to close the call is now more expensive than the premium you were paid. You are on the hook for your shares to be "called away" at the strike price until expiry or you buy to close, but the premium is still yours. If you do NOTHING at all, the premium is yours, the call will either expire worthless, or your shares will be called away at the strike price. When you start talking about your broker closing out any position you hold, you really go off the rails. Are you in some way selling naked calls vs. covered. That is the only place i can think of where that bit of nonsense would apply. In a covered call, the only thing your broker will sell is the 100 shares at the strike price if assigned.

[@jscotthamilton5809]

@@paretous_x7044 Buy to cover, get assigned, or the short call expires worthless. Any of these three conditions satisfies the contract. But to your original point, TastyTrade did an analysis on a similar complex position, which was either the iron condor or the short strangle, I can't remember which. Their conclusion was that the risk weighted maximum theta gain (option time premium recovered) was to put on the position at 45 days to expiration and buy it back at 22 days to expiration. The yield was about 50% of the position premium earned for a 23 day holding period, assuming the the trade was profitable (67% chance, again if memory serves correctly). What SMB Capital sort of hinted at was the additional theta you might earn by holding to expiration is really not worth the risk of a gamma squeeze. For each covered call position those variables will change, but a good guestimate is probably a holding period of about half the days to expiration.

[@XquiziteX]

To address few comments : 1- if you get called or exercised on your sold call - you have to be comfortable knowing your strike price + premium you got was enough to break even or be profitable. If you cost is significantly more then yes you run into a loss. But if you use technical and don’t see the strike price being in the money too oftern then you can roll this move over and over 2- once you have any call option open setup “ alerts “ 50 % and 25 % of value so automatically you will know and if it’s way before expiry close it. Take profit.Gluck

[@gillesinvest95]

Hi and Tx. One point : Why did you keep the 170 strike all along the way. For the first position, I understand why you chose the 170 strike ATM call. So why did not you choose to sell each time the ATM call strike ? Tx in advance

[@DimensionRIFT]

I am assuming that the person bought the shares at 170; they didn't mention the price the person bought the shares at. With covered calls, you don't want to pick a strike that is below the average cost of your shares. The strike should at least be at the average cost of your shares.

Well presented. Clear. Of course you've gotta do it yrself to really Master it. 😅

[@WeyermannX]

So it sounds like you are closing when the stock is down and then waiting for it to recover a bit before selling another call, is that correct? If so, how do you know it is not part of a larger downtrend and the stock will not recover to a price where selling a covered call makes sense? Or are you immediately closing and reopening 3 months out, regardless of how little premium you get?

[@sethfreudberg4750]

@weyermannX--astute and accurate observation. I wait for a bounce to re-sell calls. If the stock then sells off again, and the calls expire worthless, you'll want to re-sell a new call, but don't sell it below the acquisition price of your shares or you'll take a loss on the share if the shares are later assigned. Of course, if your bullish thesis changes, you MUST get out of the position. Covered calls are a bullish trade.

@@Dori_1111 Actually Dori you are selling the shares at your strike price, so the price of the sale IS the strike price. I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on that. Any strategy can lose money in any market if foolishly executed. But you can't lose money on a covered call if the stock goes up. It's impossible The shares have 100 deltas and the short options have less than 100 negative deltas. You can lose money in a bullish market if you pick the wrong stock and it goes down. I said repeatedly in the video that the covered call is a bullish strategy.

[@Dori_1111]

@@sethfreudberg4750 Thanks for replying. I should have clarified in my post above, that you pay taxes near the price of the sale when you "roll" the covered call (otherwise, you will pay the IRS for the gains over the sale of the stock + premium received). Let me try to explain, you sold a $110 CC in a $100 stock. The stock goes up to $115, and you roll your CC to a further date, so you are not exercised and trigger a tax event (you want to keep the shares). Then the stock goes to $120, $125, and you keep rolling. Suddenly you are exercised and the shares are taken from you. You will be taxed at sale at strike price plus the rolls which will be closer and closer to the 'sale' price at the date of exercising as you've accumulated a 'paper only' gains of the rolls. This will be a huge tax hit. I've been in this situation years ago and learned this the hard way. Covered calls work better in bearish markets. These days you can use simulation tools to figure out when certain strategy will work or not. In a bullish market you are better off holding the stock (assuming it's a quality stock or index).

[@elroyblackbean]

Does this strategy always presume that the price will drop, and you simply snipe (buy back) the call at the discount? And can the opposite be done with puts?

[@Aevykin]

That's the ideal scenario. Unfortunately there is always the chance that the stock will rally and stay high at expiration, calling off your shares at a discount and causing a loss. At that point, you may want to consider cash secured puts, basically implementing a wheel strategy.

Thanks for this great video, What would the results be if you move the strike price, to say 2 strikes out of the money every time you reloaded? How would you use cost basis to determine strike price?

[@Roscoe0494]

A lot of traders are worried about the cost basis. Yes in a down market you may be writing calls below your cost. Stocks go down, sometimes a lot. You have two options, sell the stock at a loss or wait for it to recover. If you hold the stock keep writing the calls. The strikes and exp need to be further out and you will need to close early to take profits. If the stock suddenly gets bullish you can roll early. I never hold until exp. You will have instances when the short loses some money but you keep rolling and the premium profits will catch you up.

I suggest only doing covered calls on at most half your position so you don't miss all the upside. If all you have is 100 shares then wait for a big run up rather trying to do them all the time.

Hindsight always looks bad, LOL however ask yourself the question, “if you did not sell the call would you have held the stock throughout the entire run up ??” OR would you have taken your profit at some time ?? One solution for this is to always sell calls at a price that you would accept accept and be content for the stock, AND don’t count profit from a run up that you never had anyway. Let’s say Exxon (XOM) is @ $118, the call is @$125 with a $5 premium. Would you sell XOM for $130 ($125 +$5) and be happy ???? If so then don’t cry if it goes to $133 OR you could just buy more when it crosses $123 OR $126 and you will also get the appreciation as well. NFA, just an observation. Remember also, you MADE $$$$$$ AND you will never go broke making $$$$$$ as long as you don’t spend more than you are making. LOL

In this market your going to have that happen all the time. In fact you could be way below your cost basis and wonder what to do. You could just hold your shares and wait for a recovery. I don't. I still get some income from pushing my strike way out and the exp further out also. Give it some serious room to move. You are going to lose some premium and your strike may be well below cost for a while. But unless the stock jumps up a lot you are going to make some money along the way, sell early and roll further out. Eventually you will be whole as the stock climbs back to normal. You may take a loss or two on the rolls but remember your stock is recovering putting the value back in your pocket. If it doesn't recover you can sit there collecting premium forever.

I sell deep ITM calls on bearish stocks far OTM calls on bullish stocks and ATM on stocks moving sideways.

Apple call 170 would pay about $3-5 not $11

[@francoisdonnet3625]

$170-130$=40*300shares=$12k in negative P&l. So if you sold you shares at the end you would have lost a lot. Regardless, it is a good hedge.

Weekly is better

[@diamondhank]

If you don't mind rolling the trade weekly, then yeh. Technically this considers a "passive" income so people don't like to actively manage it. Bi weekly may be good as well.

Are there any women who work there?

[@Po101080]

True, but this is extremely cherry-picked and requires you to time the market, which is counterintuitive to people doing covered calls in general. This knowledge is no different than "buy low, sell high" - sounds great, doesn't always work

The guy speaks too fast, had to pause video zillion times to understand what he is saying.

[@dmora2386]

The problem is you don't understand the basic fundimentals or else you'd be able to listen to this in 2x. This is beginner level, nowhere near complex. You'd be better served understanding the basics first.

You can slow down the video speed in the settings.

I think this strategy will only work if the stock price is falling...

[@GoldenAura32]

It works when the stock can't pass over a certain price point.

[@joellim7010]

when the broker recommends a strategy that's it, you know its bullshit and they just want to take all your money from you. now that this broker recommends covered calls, I will not use that strategy. Selling calls to bet the stock will drop but yet holding the stock which is inherently a bullish position is contradictory and makes no sense at all. Bear in mind brokers want you to buy and sell options more because they earn more from you regardless whether you make or lose money.

I have yet to come across you tuber who takes the initial positive looking strategy through to a bad situation,, just say adjust just not answer it, LEAP based covered calls can go horribly wrong unless ideally the underlying goes side ways that too for years! repeatedly selling calls against the LEAPS. If a Black swan event happens ( withe way ) and it takes years to recover you could be overall looser

[@sanjeevgig8918]

This stupid trick works ONLY for the stock which went slowly down all year. This trick FAILS spectacularly if the stop shoots up. LOL
