There are 2 distinct cost-basis scenarios for covered call writing:1. Trade initiation cost-basis:Stock price at the time of the trade for at-the-money and out-of-the-money strikesThe strike price for in-the-money strikes as we deduct the intrinsic-value of the premium from the stock priceIf we buy a stock for $52.00 and sell the $50.00 call for $3.00, $2.00 is intrinsic-value and that “buys-down” our cost-basis from $52.00 to $50.00, the strike price2. How do we determine cost-basis on shares we have owned for long periods of time, probably purchased at a much lower price than current market value?A real-life example with Bank of America Corp. is used to highlight the calculations.The BCI Package is highlighted at the end of the podcast:https://thebluecollarinvestor.com/minimembership/bci-investor-program/Premium Membership:https://www.thebluecollarinvestor.com/membership/-----Best Discounted Packages:1.

Exchange-traded funds represent baskets of stocks. They are generally less volatile than individual stocks and therefore provide lower option premiums. When defining our initial time-value return goal range, we must factor this in so as to properly manage our portfolio results. A real-life example with SPDR% S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) will be used to highlight these scenarios.

When our covered call strikes are in-the-money as expiration approaches, we can avoid exercise by rolling the option. We can roll-out to the next month same strikes or roll-out-and-up to the next month higher strike. We always roll-out to an in-the-money strike but can roll-out-and-up to an in-the-money, at-the-money or out-of-the-money. BCI calculators will run the returns gleaned from option-chain information.

The BCI methodology screens stocks for option-selling using fundamental analysis, technical analysis and common-sense principles (like minimum trading volume). Using high dividend yield as a primary selection factor can be enticing but can also lead to poor trading decisions. This podcast will use MPLX as real-life example to detail this important concept.

When we add a protective put to a covered call trade we now have a collar trade. There are 3 legs to this trade: long stock, short call (the ceiling) and long put (the floor). Since we pay for the protective put insurance, our returns will suffer. This podcast evaluates the impact of selling a put to help fund the protective put.

The reason covered call writing allows us to beat the market on a consistent basis is that it lowers our cost-basis. In bear and volatile markets we may choose to structure the strategy to provide even greater protection. This may include the use of in-the-money call strikes which add an intrinsic-value component to the premium as well as stock dividends. The pros and cons of such an approach is examined in this podcast using a real-life example woth Exxon Mobil (XOM).

One is the calculations we use to make the best trading decisions at any given point in time. The other relates to analyzing the overall success of our trading. A real-life example with XBI is analyzed with the assistance of the ellman Calculator.

There are 2 sets of calculations we must analyze when rolling our covered call options out-and-up. The first is based on making the best trading decisions at any given point in time. The second is when evaluating our overall returns for a series of trades with a particular security.
This podcast will use a real-life example with Planet Fitness, Inc. (PLNT) to highlight both sets of calculations.

Covered call writing can be leveraged to exit stock positions to mitigate losses or to enhance gains. As long as there is a time-value component to the option premium, we can benefit from this approach. A real-life example with iShares MSCI Brazil (EWZ) is used to explain the strategy

Expiration dates define the last time option traders can take action whereas expiration times specify when an option-contract becomes null and void. Understanding the differences can impact how we manage our trades. This podcast also explains the mechanism of the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) and details how and when an out-of-the-money strikes may be exercised after contract expiration.

A collar trade is covered call writing + a protective put. Slecting the most beneficial call and put strikes will have a critical impact on the success of our trades. This podcast will include a discussion of initial time-value return goal range, option-chain evaluation and calculators that will assist in ouyr trade decisions. A real-life example with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) will be examined to explain the methodology.

When using the Put-Call-Put (PCP) strategy, sometimes called the "wheel strategy" and the put strike in in-the-money as expiration approaches, we must decide on whether an exit strategy opportunity exits. Do we roll the option allow exercise or simply close the option and move to a different underlying? All 3 scenarios are evaluated using a real-life example with Intel Corp.

Selling options using large-cap tech companies like Apple or Amazon and many others can be challenging due to the high cost. Using the exchange-traded fund, QQQ, is a great way to accomplish these strategies at a relatively low-cost and still have the large-cap tech presence. Option-chains, calculators and annualized returns are the focus of this podcast.

To become an elite option-seller, we must master the 3-required skills... stock selection, option-selection and position management. With exit strategies, not only do we have to know which ones will enhance the current trade status but also how and when to implement them. This podcast will show a real-life example with MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) regarding rolling-down covered call writing exit strategies and how we could have improved our results.

When stock price moves up, put value moves down. After selling an OTM cash-secured put, if share price appreciates significantly, we can close it for a small percentage of the original option sale. This podcast focuses in on whether it makes sense to roll that option up to a higher strike in the same contract month. The pros and cons of such a maneuver are discussed using a real-life example with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA).

Position management is a critical aspect of covered call writing success. The key is to identify when these opportunities present and how and why to implement them. There are times when no action is the best choice. In this podcast, a real-life example with KMX is used to show calculations evaluating rolling-up in the same contract month. Both versions of The Ellman Calculator are used to demonstrate how to make the best decisions.

Retail investors may confuse 2 very different strategies that sound the same. Covered puts is a risky strategy that involves shorting a stock and selling a put option. The trader is obligated to replace the "borrowed" stock and buy the shares at the strike price.
Selling cash-secured puts is a low-risk strategy appropriate for most retail investors that involves selling a put option and placing the appropriate amount of cash in the account to "secure" the put. Hypothetical examples are used to clarify the differences between the 2 strategies..br>

Strike price selection for covered call writing and selling cash-secured puts is the 2nd of the 3 required skills. The CBOE Volatility Index or VIX is a key statistic we should evaluate when making these decisions. It should be used in conjunction with overall market assessment, economic data and personal risk-tolerance. This podcast will revue the definition and history of the VIX, analyze its relationship with the S&P 500 and discuss how it may impact our strike price decisions..br>

When our strike prices are in-the-money as expiration approaches and we don't want our shares sold, we must close the current month option and roll to the next month. Rolling can include rolling-out to the same strike or rolling-out-and-up to a higher strike. This podcast breaks down the calculations to show why the total cost isn't the most important stat that should determine our trade decisions.

Selling out-of-the-money (OTM) cash-secured puts creates an opportunity to "buy a stock at a discount" if the put option is exercised. If unexercised, we generate a monthly cash flow via the option premium. When one of our stocks declines in value, we can lower our cost-basis by selling OTM puts. This podcast will detail such a series of trades with Halliburton Company (HAL).
