Key Insights from the Webinar

1.Options as Income Source

Options can create repeatable income streams via strategies like Covered Calls and Cash-Secured Puts. These strategies enable predictable, recurring income.

2.Clearly Define Risk

However, risk must be clearly defined: there are no risk-free returns. Each strategy has its own risk profiles that investors need to understand.

3.Planning and Discipline

The focus is on planning and discipline. Successful income strategies require a systematic approach and the discipline to implement it consistently.

Main Strategies in Detail

Covered Calls

With this strategy, you already own stocks and sell Call options on them. You receive the premium as income.

Example:

You own 100 shares of XYZ Corp (price: €50). You sell a Call option with strike €55 for €2 premium. You receive €200 income immediately. If the stock stays below €55, you keep the shares AND the premium.

Advantages
  • Regular income
  • Reduces loss risk
  • Ideal for sideways markets
Risks
  • Limited profit potential
  • Shares can be sold
  • Losses in falling markets

Cash-Secured Puts

You sell Put options on stocks you would like to buy. You receive the premium and buy the shares cheaper if they fall.

Example:

ABC stock is at €100. You would like to buy it for €90. You sell a Put with strike €90 for €3 premium. You receive €300 immediately. If the stock falls below €90, you buy it at €90 (effectively €87 because of the premium). If it stays above €90, you keep the premium.

Advantages
  • Generate income
  • Buy shares cheaper
  • Good entry point
Risks
  • Purchase obligation possible
  • Capital must be available
  • Losses in strong decline
