One of the most common trading strategies used by successful traders, for generating cashflow, is covered calls or buy/writes. This is a strategy that has the potential to significantly increase your returns – above and beyond that of simply shares.
According to the ASX, a recent study* has shown that “through a range of active and passive covered call strategies. You can make your shares work up to 7.25%pa harder”
Often, investors spend a lot of time working out the relative benefits and weaknesses of using this stock options strategy on either Australian or US stocks. Some use clumsy tools and even the newspaper to try and find out the best opportunities for them. At times they don’t know what do next, if the share price moves up, if it falls or if it stays static. When it all gets too hard, most investors seek input from a specialist advisor to assist them with placing or managing the position.
