In simple words, Covered Calls are contracts made on options to create income. But it’s a little more complicated than that… How are they performing? Do they provide the income you need? Are they safe? What are the tax implications? We’ve received so many questions about them this year that we’ve decided to gather the answers in a full-length episode.
