This is the Secret to Becoming a Successful Covered Call Option Writer
Wow! The stock market is certainly interesting these days. Many people, including me, have given up trying to predict the direction of the market. Thankfully, I've found myself in the position to be able to say "Who cares!"
My new attitude is not because I have surrendered to the stock market and accepted the uncertain fate of my future. I have made a monumental change in my investment strategy.
There are many people who simply don't see the advantages to covered call writing. Here is my favorite piece of advice I often get from these so called stock market experts "covered call writing fails because the market takes away your winners and leaves you with the losers". I find this reasoning seriously flawed! If my stock gets called away and I am left with an 8% return on my money for the month I am thrilled that I locked in that gain. I am happy that I just made 8% for the month so who cares that the stock got called away.
In order to be successful using covered calls the average investor needs to remain focused on their goal. Forget about what could have been. It is easy to lose sight of why you entered into a trade to begin with and instead focus on the unforeseen benefits that you never received. Consistent monthly returns of 2% to 10% gains will definitely more than make up for any appreciation at you lost when the stock was called away. Keep focused on your goal which is to make money!
Now that we've addressed the fallacy about the market taking the winners, let's focus in on the losers. The real fact is that stocks decline at a faster rate than they go up. Fear and panic sometimes force people to act on emotion and not on logic. This is where the covered call option writer needs to protect himself. How is this done? The answer is beyond the scope of this article, but I will say that it can be done rather easily.
What if you can use a strategy to protect yourself when the market goes down thereby locking in those same gains. Think about it, knowing exactly what your gain will be even before you place your trade. I call that taking control of your investments. The exciting fact is that you can do that reliably because I do that very thing month after month.
The key to being a successful covered call option seller is to remain focused on your goal and protect the downside. The secret is in finding a proven strategy that will keep you on track regardless of which direction the stock market is moving in. Now you need to make a decision. Do you want to be the kind of investor that continually searches for the next super stock? Or do you want to be the investor the builds wealth and becomes rich by using systematic, low risk strategies to beat the market month after month?
