Quick Take: 21st Century Covered Call Strategy
Time Frame: One to Eight Weeks.
Stock: Bullish Market Edge Opinion – Long Stock position.
Desired Stock Price Direction: Sideways to Up.
Option Position: Short ATM Call – Long ATM +2 Call (Credit Spread).
Maximum Risk: The stock goes down and you lose the amount of the stock’s decline. However, the loss is offset somewhat by the amount of the credit spread.
Summary: If the stock stays flat or moves down, the credit spread will expire worthless and you will keep the credit. If the stock moves up, the stock and the long call will appreciate in line with the stock price.
