Simple is good and easy is good too. If there is a way to make money in the stock market that is easy and a way that is hard, which is better? The easy way. Right? So what is the easiest way to make money in the stock market?
Well, I have my personal opinion, and I'd be happy to share that with you.
The easiest way to make money is to sell calls against solid stable companies. Covered calls are the easiest way to make money in the stock market. Now that said, there is a lot of misinformation about covered calls trading out there. I've heard people like Wade Cook saying that you can make 20% per month trading covered calls. Well, good luck at that. It's really hard to do that. You have to only trade really dangerous stocks to do that.
Also there is misinformation that that they only work in a bull market. Again not true. At least not if you do covered calls right.
So, let me tell you about the right way to trade covered calls. Here's how. First ignore the stocks that give you the high premium. The premium is high for a reason. The stock is very volatile. You don't want that. You want the stock to be quiet.
So stick with companies that are large and are profitable themselves.
That's the key to make money. Sure with those kinds of companies, the option premium will be much smaller. You won't be able to make 20% per month. You might only make 3%, but annualized that's still 36%. That's good.
