Selling call
options on stocks you buy is a fast and reliable way of generating
income on a monthly basis. It works like this:
Let’s say you
bought a stock on Monday at $9.75. That stock is now in your
possession and you now own it. If you wanted to sell it the next
day you are free to do so. If you wanted to hold
that same stock for three years you are free to do so.
However, if you wanted to generate income from that $9.75 stock
you are free to do so.
Fast forward
to the next day, Tuesday, and you’ve decided you want to sell the
stock you purchased on Monday when it reaches $10. Rather than
selling the stock immediately, you could sell a call option.
Selling a
call option means that you would be selling the right, not
the obligation, to someone in the market place to buy that
stock away from you at the $10 price at a later date. The buyer
of the option would then pay you something called a premium. In
this example our premium is $.90 per share. The price that you’ve
agreed to sell the stock at is called the strike price. In
this case it’s $10.
So in the
above example you sold a call option and earned a $.90
per share premium. Simultaneously, you agreed to sell the
stock at the $10
Strike
price.
No matter
what happens in this transaction, if the buyer decides to buy the
stock from you or let the option expire, you get to keep the
$.90 premium.
The buyer of
the option could choose to exercise that option at any time before
the expiration date and pay you the full $10. If the buyer decides
to
exercise the
option, you would be obligated to sell the stock to him or her at
the $10 strike price but you would keep the $.90 premium.
Let’s
look at the total profit.
Stock bought
at $9.75 sold at $10 = .25 per share profit or 2.5% return
Plus .90
premium. = .90 per share profit or 10%
Total profit
on trade = 12.5% per month
WOW That's Great !
Entertainment Industry Option Equivalent
OK,
If you really want to
understand how stock market options work, we can take a look at
the entertainment industry equivalent.
Let’s say
you wrote a film script. You send your script to a well known
Hollywood production company. Your script gets read by the top
executive. She loves it. However, she’s not one hundred percent
certain she can sell your script to a major motion picture studio
for production. What’s her solution? An option.
The Hollywood
production company is willing to option your script from you for
$50,000. The option expires in six months. You still own the
product and copyright. If your script gets picked up by a studio,
you’ve agreed in advance to sell it to the production company for
$250,000.
In the right
option scenario, everybody wins.
In the above
example, if your script gets selected by Warner Bros. for
production, you earn an additional $250,000. Whether your script
gets sold or not, you get to keep the initial $50,000.
If your
script gets sold, your profit on the deal is $50,000 plus $250,000
for a total profit of $300,000. In the stock market this kind of
transaction happens over one million times each day.
If you
understand the entertainment industry option equivalent, you can
earn thousands of dollars per month in residual income.
Stock
Option Rules
1)
The stock you purchase must be optionable.
2)
You must buy stocks in one hundred share increments
referred to on Wall Street as a contract.
3)
You must
enjoy earning large amounts of money on a monthly basis.
Cash Flow
Example
If
you practiced and sold calls on a monthly basis, you could
generate a 10% monthly return or more. That means…….
$5,000 could
return $ 500 per month less commission
$7,500 could
generate $ 750 per month less commission
$10,000 could
generate $1,000 per month minus broker commission
Taken to a
higher level
$50,000
could return $5,000 per month
$100,000
could return $10,000 per month
$500,000
could return $50,000 per month
