Interested in generating additional monthly income from equity investments?

Want to sell options but concerned with trading an aggressive, speculative strategy?

Selling a covered call, also known as a buy-write, is the only strategy to be considered non-speculative by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). As more experienced options traders will know, a covered call is a synthetic short put, meaning the strategy has the same risk-reward profile as that of a short put.

In the latest KOTM exclusive workshop Covered Call Strategies for Up, Down, or Flat Markets, Keene looks at how traders and investors can setup the best buy-writes:

•  How to read order flow for covered call setups

•  What stock or chart types should one avoid for covered calls

•  Why covered calls can generate monthly (or even weekly) income regardless of overall market direction

•  Why covered calls are superior to other ‘conservative’ strategy types, and can yield 6-10% monthly for annualized returns over 100%
