This concludes the chapter on covered call writing. The strategy will be referred to
|
||||
later, when compared with other strategies. Here is a brief summary of the more
|
||||
important points that were discussed.
|
||||
Covered call writing is a viable strategy because it reduces the risk of stock own
|
||||
ership and will make one's portfolio less volatile to short-term market movements. It
|
||||
should be understood, however, that covered call writing may underperform stock
|
||||
ownership in general because of the fact that stocks can rise great distances, while a
|
||||
covered write has limited upside profit potential. The choice of which call to write
|
||||
can make for a more aggressive or more conservative write. Writing in-the-money
|
||||
calls is strategically more conservative than writing out-of-the-money calls, because
|
||||
of the larger amount of downside protection received. The total return concept of
|
||||
covered call writing attempts to achieve the maximum balance between income from
|
||||
all sources - option premiums, stock ownership, and dividend income - and down
|
||||
side protection. This balance is usually realized by writing calls when the stock is near
|
||||
the striking price, either slightly in- or slightly out-of-the-money.
|
||||
The writer should compute various returns before entering into the position:
|
||||
the return if exercised, the return if the stock is unchanged at expiration, and the
|
||||
break-even point. To truly compare various writes, returns should be annualized, and
|
||||
all commissions and dividends should be included in the calculations. Returns will be
|
||||
increased by taking larger positions in the underlying stock - 500 or 1,000 shares.
|
||||
Also, by utilizing a brokerage firm's capability to produce "net" executions, buying the
|
||||
stock and selling the call at a specified net price differential, one will receive better
|
||||
executions and realize higher returns in the long run.
