• Secured Option Strategies

  This service involves the writing of covered call and secured put options, a strategy designed to generate income or hedge against potential downturns in the market. By writing covered calls, the company sells call options on assets it already owns, providing additional income or protection against stock price declines. With secured puts, the company agrees to buy a stock at a predetermined price, potentially benefiting from premium income or acquiring the stock at a discount if it drops below the strike price. These options are targeted towards stock index ETFs, stock indices, and individual stocks, offering a diversified approach to using option strategies.
