My main focus is on dividend growth investing, not options. I write these options articles mostly to keep track of options income, which I redeploy to buy dividend growth [DG] stocks. My articles on SA and here reveal my opinions of FVs of DG stocks. Selling puts at or below FV is one way to ensure decent entry points. I sometimes set my put strikes even lower (say 10-20%) than FV. If these puts expire, I'm fine with it. If they get assigned, I have a great entry point!<br />Covered calls is another matter altogether. I've been assigned a few times when I was hoping not to, mostly around ex-dates because the call holder wants the dividend. That's unfortunate but still OK, because I usually earn more in options income than I would give up in dividend income. <br /><br />Perhaps one day (if there is sufficient interest) I'll create a subscription service for options trading on dividend growth stocks. That way, the subscribers can benefit directly from options trading ideas and/or learn what to look for.

Don't need a lot of info just option and your reasoning, i.e. for puts good yield and you get to buy below your fair value. For calls strictly income generation or if call were exercised it would be above what your considered fair value.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209403969400881262noreply@blogger.com
