This subject has been hot of late. Covered calls or protective puts. Here is the scoop. Message 25071204 A covered call is the sale of a call option against a stock held in a portfolio. A protective put is the purchase of a put option on a stock held in a portfolio. Protective puts offer more insurance at lower cost (loss of upside potential) than covered calls. Protective put portfolios should outperform covered calls in rising or falling markets but underperform covered calls in flat markets. Risk and return data for protective put portfolios resulting from this study support the use of protective put portfolios as a prudent investment strategy. So If anyone want the full report.. email me at my website.
