Covered Calls Articles
If you own at least 100 shares of stock in your account, you have the opportunity to sell a covered call option against those shares.
So, what does that mean?
Basically, you can sell one call option (one option contract equals 100 shares) against the shares of the company you own to an option buyer.
In doing so, you’re giving up the right to own the shares to the person who buys the option from you. And when he buys, he now has the right to buy the shares from you at a pre-determined price (the strike price). For that right, he must pay you money - yours to keep, free and clear, no matter what happens in the future. That’s your return.
If the stock moves up past the strike price of the option you sold, you will then be obligated to sell your shares of stock to the option buyer at the stated strike price. Is that a bad thing? Not if you do the trade correctly, and have a price in mind that you would be willing to sell the shares anyway.
