Barran's Article on Covered Calls

Barrons's has a nice piece extolling the virtues of covered calls, buy-writes, and put selling. From the article: " ...investors must master a simple options-trading strategy—known as the "buy-write" or "covered call"—that was proven in 2011 to make a silk purse from a sow's ear".

Safe-Options Ideas for 2012

Here's a few ideas to consider going into 2012: Consider acquiring more stocks via cash-secured puts. Quality is important: make sure you are using financially strong underlyings for your safe options selling programs. Think about longer-dated covered calls; the premiums are richer. And finally, total return comes from the sum of options premium, capital gain, and dividend income. Best wishes for a prosperous 2012.
