Inside Trading features Murray Ruggiero this week, who discusses long term patterns and the market timing for interest rates and stocks.

Dan Keen supplies the following segment how to select a stock for covered calls.

The following article is an excerpt from Dan Keen's Covered Call Writing: A Low Risk Cash Flow Money Machine

Writing covered calls is a common options strategy. The word write in option market language means to sell. When you have an option covered, it means you own the underlying stock; you are covering your bet. To write a covered call, then, is to sell someone the right to buy a particular stock from you (of which you own shares) at a set price on or before a certain date. You will never know who that someone is if it happens; transactions are all done electronically. But how should you choose your stock to begin with?

PLEASE READ. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. There is a substantial risk of loss trading commodities, stocks, bonds and options with or without this or any other advertised product, service or system. Also hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
