Course Overview
What is a Covered Call Option?
Covered call options are among the most popular option trading strategies available. They can be an effective way to generate income, enhance returns, and hedge the risk of stock ownership.
With a covered call, you must first own shares of a stock. You will then write (or sell) a call option against the shares you already own. In other words, you are “covering” your shares. The buyer of your covered call has the right to buy your shares from you at an agreed upon strike price on or before the option’s expiration. For this right, the call buyer will pay the call seller option premium. You, as the call seller, are obligated to sell your shares if the call buyer decided to exercise their buy your shares.
Although a covered call is a relatively simple and straightforward option strategy, there are multiple moving pieces that you should understand. For example, determining which strike price to sell your calls at is a crucial decision. The strike price can make the difference between a stock position resulting in profit or a loss.
