\n
one of the common frustrations for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
traders and investors is the fact that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so many great stocks don’t pay dividends<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so they can’t draw any current income<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from a stock that they love and they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
really very valuable one of the most<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
popular trading stocks is is our G<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Intuitive Surgical which has been on a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
incredible tear over the last five years<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as you can see from this price chart now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
nearly quadrupling in price over the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
last five years that’s an impressive<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
performance but did you realize that is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
our G does not issue a dividend at all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
well there’s a solution to this problem<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and it’s called a covered call<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so let’s first try to understand how a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
covered call works and then we can delve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into exactly how we could have applied<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this to is our G over the last few years<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so let’s start by reviewing the basics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of what a call option is so that there’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
no confusion when I explain how this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
strategy works if you already know how a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call option works don’t worry this is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
gonna be quick and then we’ll jump into<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the guts of the lesson so what’s known<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as a call option on a stock entitles the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
buyer of that option to purchase 100<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shares of that stock at a certain price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
called the strike price of that option<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
regardless of what the price of the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
stock is trading at before that option<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
expires the buyer of a call option pays<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what’s called a premium to the seller of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the option because the seller of the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option is taking the risk that the stock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
will go past the strike price of the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option in which case the buyer can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
exercise his option but if the stock on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the expiration of the day of the option<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is not beyond the strike price of the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option then the seller just pockets the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
premium that he was given by the buyer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
he walks away completely free of any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
obligations the option in other words<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
expires worthless because it was never<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
triggered so let’s say hypothetically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that XYZ stock is trading at 100 so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
let’s say that there’s an option chain<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
30 days out from today for XYZ and we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
find that the option to buy XYZ for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
five dollars in 30 days costs 80 cents<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
then that option would cost the buyer 80<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dollars because it represents the right<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to buy 100 shares of XYZ and so you need<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to pay 100 times 80 cents to buy the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option which is $80 now moving out 30<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
days.if XYZ stock closes on the day the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option expires at 105 or less the option<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
expires worthless and the seller for the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option just pockets the $80 in the buyer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of the option just lost $80 on the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
transaction however if the stock trades<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
up to say 107 then the sellers required<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to sell to the buyer his shares of XYZ<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
company for $105 even though they’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading at 107 so in that case the buyer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
would make a profit from having bought<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the call because he paid two dollars<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
less per share for stock than it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
actually worth and he paid 80 cents for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that option so he made out on that one<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so those are the basic workings of a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call option so let’s say that it was the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
middle of January 2019 and you had<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
decided to buy 100 shares of is RG which<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at that time was trading at five-thirty<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
206 your premise was that you were<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
optimistic about the stocks prospects<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and at the same time you wanted to get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some income from this stock even though<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it doesn’t issue a quarterly dividend so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the same time that you bought those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shares<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you sold a call about 5% above the price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
which is at approximately 560 and that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call expires in about a month now on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that day the is RG February 15th 560<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call was priced at seven dollars and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seventy cents and it expires in a month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as you can see so now let’s take a quick<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
look at how your broker will treat this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
transaction so you’ll pay fifty three<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
thousand two hundred six dollars for the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hundred shares but because you sold that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call at five sixty you’ve received cash<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
flow of seven hundred seventy dollars<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because the price of the call was seven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seventy per share and each call<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
represents 100 shares so you’ll receive<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
one hundred times that or seven hundred<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seventy dollars so that’s how the trade<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
starts now let’s move forward to the day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the option expires on February 15th and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’ll see that is our G rally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
slightly to 545 but didn’t get up to 560<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so your 560 call expires worthless why<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because that 560 call is a right for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
someone to buy the shares at 560 which<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
they’re obviously never going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
exercise because the stocks trading at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
5:45 so that’s seven hundred seventy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dollars that you collected for that call<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because you took the risk that you’d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have to give your shares up at five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sixty even if the shares were trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
much higher that call premium that you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
got since the call option expired<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
worthless you get to keep the profit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from that premium and pocket the seven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seventy well if you do the math on that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
after owning the stock for about a month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you have effectively paid yourself a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dividend of 1.4 percent on a stock that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
does not pay a dividend and you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
accomplished this in one month so having<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
attained a 1.4 percent return in just a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
month suppose that we decided to do this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
same thing every 30 days right up until<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
last month December well let’s take a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
look at how that would have turned out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now before we do that though I did want<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to mention that we’re currently running<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n
\n
now and don’t miss it okay so let’s take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a look at how this program is selling a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call about 30 days out and about 5%<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
above the current market of the price of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the stock would have played out month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
after month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so the next week after February 15th<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call expired<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we sold the March 15th call about 5%<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
above the market now remember is our G<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was trading at 5:45 at that point so the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
call we would have bought 5% above the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market is the 575 and that one sold for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
$395 as you can see $3.95 times the 100<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shares it represents now if we move to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the expiration of that option on March<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
14th you’ll see that is our G actually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
did rally to 558 so while the stock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
rallied it didn’t quite make it to 575<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and so that call up at 575 is obviously<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going to expire worthless as its above<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the stock trading price and therefore<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
wouldn’t logically be exercised so now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
doing the math for the first two months<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’ll see that we made another 395<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dollars from that march call and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
therefore we’ve made a total of 1,000<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
$165 for the first two months bringing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
our two months return 22.2%<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now that’s not bad given the fact that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the stock doesn’t issue a dividend at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all and in less than two months we’ve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collected the equivalent of a 2.2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
percent dividend while the average<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dividend for the entire sp500<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is 2% per year so we’ve already exceeded<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that in two months on a non dividend<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
paying stock now in April the call 5%<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
above the market is the 590 and we get a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
premium of 617 dollars for that one as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you can see if we again move forward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
another 30 days you’ll see that is our G<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
actually sold off in this case and so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
obviously the short call will expire<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
worthless as its way up at 590 way above<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where the market where the stock is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
currently trading and so now our score<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
card after 3 months is over $1700 in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
income and a return of 3.3 percent now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so that you won’t be bored running<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
through each month in detail I can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you that the year would have come out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like this having collected six thousand<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seventy seven dollars by selling a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
covered call 5% above the market every<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
30 days and allowing them in almost<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
every case to just simply expire and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that constitutes a return of eleven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
point four percent for the 12-month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
period on a stock which remember pays no<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dividend at all now there will be cases<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where the stock will take off to the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
upside and the owner of the call will<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
exercise his call and your shares will<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be sold for a price lower than the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
current price but if that happens you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just buy back your shares immediately<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and resumed your call selling program<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that actually would have happened you in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
October but you’ll see that you could<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have bought the shares back at a very<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
slight increase in price and just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
continued your call selling program and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the results would have been exactly as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we’ve Illustrated so what I hope that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’ve learned from this video is the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fact that with just a little bit of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options knowledge you can turn a non<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dividend paying stock into a generator<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of cash flow that in this case beat the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hell out of the return of almost any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dividend paying stock you could think of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and was more than five times larger than<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the average stock on the S&P; 500<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so that’s just one pretty simple example<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of the leverage and flexibility of using<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options to enhance the returns in your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading and there are far more powerful<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
techniques than this one in reality now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
