We are conservative stock investors/traders who believe in making money by generating short-term - sometimes monthly - income from stocks rather than passively holding said stocks for long-term appreciation. The secret to trading or any financial endeavor is cash flow. Ask Warren Buffett or Donald Trump; no matter what the game, the entire point is cash flow.
Sometimes we buy a stock just to write call options on it (which produces the aforementioned income), and sometimes we write calls on stocks in a portfolio. That’s right! It is possible to force those portfolio stocks to pay you quite a fine little income - in effect a monthly dividend - through writing call options. And you still get the quarterly dividends, too. Pinch me, I’m dreaming!
