What Is a Covered Call?
A covered call refers to a financial transaction in which the investor selling call options owns an equivalent amount of the underlying security. To execute this an investor holding a long position in an asset then writes (sells) call options on that same asset to generate an income stream. The investor's long position in the asset is the "cover" because it means the seller can deliver the shares if the buyer of the call option chooses to exercise. If the investor simultaneously buys stock and writes call options against that stock position, it is known as a "buy-write" transaction.

Understanding Covered Calls
Covered calls are a neutral strategy, meaning the investor only expects a minor increase or decrease in the underlying stock price for the life of the written call option. This strategy is often employed when an investor has a short-term neutral view on the asset and for this reason holds the asset long and simultaneously has a short position via the option to generate income from the option premium.

Simply put, if an investor intends to hold the underlying stock for a long time but does not expect an appreciable price increase in the near term then they can generate income (premiums) for their account while they wait out the lull.

A covered call serves as a short-term hedge on a long stock position and allows investors to earn income via the premium received for writing the option. However, the investor forfeits stock gains if the price moves above the option's strike price. They are also obligated to provide 100 shares at the strike price (for each contract written) if the buyer chooses to exercise the option.

A covered call strategy is not useful for a very bullish nor a very bearish investor. If an investor is very bullish, they are typically better off not writing the option and just holding the stock. The option caps the profit on the stock, which could reduce the overall profit of the trade if the stock price spikes. Similarly, if an investor is very bearish, they may be better off simply selling the stock, since the premium received for writing a call option will do little to offset the loss on the stock if the stock plummets.

Thank you for doing this video. I needed to SEE how it was actually done on Fidelity. Most of the videos I've watch just say, "just close the option" and things like that but sometimes it is hard to figure out exactly what is being said and where you need to go to do it. Thank you.

Have traded options before and you do a much better job of explaining than I. Fidelity should add your video to their FAQ. Thanks.

Great information thanks for creating this! These are the sorts of instructions I think they should host themselves rather than relying on YouTubers to create them.

Excellent video as always, Jake! Covered calls are a great strategy in my opinion. I’m grateful to you for teaching me so much about these types of transactions. I used to know this in the late 1980s but I stopped trading stocks after the mid ‘90s so obviously with time I forgot some of this. Thanks a lot and have a great day!
