Research Matters in Covered Calls
Before running a covered call trade, it is important
to evaluate the stock and do a bit of research before
running the trade. Consistently successful call writers
confine themselves to the best companies. Exhaustive
research is not required, but it is crucial to look
at a few key things, to know you are writing a first-class
company and that its chart is not showing a dangerous
picture.
CallWriter puts a tremendous amount of research right
at your fingertips, available with a few mouse clicks.
