What is a Covered Call?

Most investors let their stocks sit in a brokerage account doing nothing.
But there’s a simple way to turn your portfolio into a paycheck machine—without selling a single share.

It’s called a covered call, and here’s how it works (beginner-friendly breakdown):

✅ You own 100 shares of a stock
✅ You “rent” those shares out by selling a call option
✅ You get paid upfront—cash in your account instantly

This income is called a premium, and you can do this every single week.
It’s like owning rental property—but with stocks.


📈 Example:
You own 100 shares of Apple at $170.
You sell a $175 call option and collect $1.50 per share = $150 in income.

  • If Apple stays under $175 → You keep the shares and the $150
  • If it rises above → You sell the shares at $175 (a profit) and keep the $150

This is one of my favorite strategies for consistent income.

And it’s how I help professionals replace their paycheck with options.
