Hub You - Understanding Covered Calls - Part 2
Any search engine marketing company should be utilizing the latest technology to obtain the best possible results for any web business. Writing articles and submitting press releases online have been traffic generators for quite some time, yet some companies are not utilizing tried and true methods to obtain results for their customers. Blogs or weblogs have become common among internet businesses as a way of talking direct to customers, telling them news about your company, giving better explanations of your products and just about any other ideas you can come up with. There are new (and not so new) technologies online that any wise SEO company will be utilizing to generate traffic for their customers.1. RSS, or real simple syndication feeds, are a very simple method of updating customers on your products or services as the updates are made
Example – Writing “At the Money” Covered Calls · An investor holds 1000 shares of QQQQ on August 17th, 2006 valued at $38.00 per share· The investor writes 10 call options at $38.00 per share strike price for his QQQQ holdings with an expiration date of Friday September 15, 2006 @ $.20 per share· When the call options sell, the investor receives $200 in his account. These are the proceeds for the call option contracts, and are the investor’s to keep· If the expiration date is reached and the share price of QQQQ is $38.00 or greater, then the shares are likely to be called away.· If the expiration date is reached and the share price of QQQQ is less than $38.00, it is unlikely that the shares will be called away.

In part two, things become a bit more complex. In this section we will discuss three key methods of writing covered calls respectively known as “In the Money”, “Out of the Money”, and “At the Money”
“In the Money” “In the Money” covered calls are a bit confusing to the novice options trader, which is why I’ve decided to discuss them first in this article. In the money calls are useful for generating returns when the underlying security is expected to be flat or slightly down during the options period.
In the Money covered calls typically result in capital depreciation. This sounds bad, but it’s really not. Although capital depreciation often occurs when writing in the money covered calls, the premium received for selling the option is often large enough to completely offset the capital depreciation.
Generally, it can be expected that if you write in the money covered calls, that you are prepared for your underlying shares to sell. Thus, selling in the money covered calls is a strategy that is useful to generate returns during times of declining market value.
Example – Writing an “In the Money” Covered Call · An investor holds 1000 shares of QQQQ on August 16th, 2006 valued at $37.70 per share· The investor writes 10 call options at $37.00 per share strike price for his QQQQ holdings with an expiration date of Friday September 15, 2006 @ $2.15 per share· When the call options sell, the investor receives $2150 in his account. These are the proceeds for the call option contracts, and are the investor’s to keep· If the expiration date is reached and the share price of QQQQ is greater than $37.00, it is very likely that the shares will be called away by the holder of the options contract· If the expiration date is reached and the share price of QQQQ is less than $37.00, it is unlikely that the shares will be called away by the holder of the options contract· The investor is also free to purchase back his options at a lower price closer to the expiration date and close his position, thereby retaining his underlying shares. As stated previously, selling in the money covered calls is a useful strategy during a declining market.
“Out of the Money” “Out of the Money” covered calls are the typical method of writing covered calls. I have quoted the example presented in part one, because that is a good example of writing an out of the money covered call:
Example – Writing “Out of the Money” Covered Calls · An investor holds 1000 shares of QQQQ on August 16th, 2006 valued at $37.70 per share· The investor writes 10 call options at $39.00 per share strike price for his QQQQ holdings with an expiration date of Friday September 15, 2006 @ $.30 per share· When the call options sell, the investor receives $300 in his account. These are the proceeds for the call option contracts, and are the investor’s to keep· If the expiration date is reached and the share price of QQQQ is $39.00 or greater, then the shares are likely to be called away.· If the expiration date is reached and the share price of QQQQ is less than $39.00, it is unlikely that the shares will be called away. It is most likely that the option contract will expire worthless.· The investor is also free to purchase back his options at a lower price closer to the expiration date and close his position, thereby retaining his underlying shares. Out of the money calls are typically most useful in a market that is expected to remain flat or to increase slowly.
“At the Money” “At the Money” covered calls are covered calls that are written with a strike price that is exactly the same as the current price of the underlying security.
Example – Writing “At the Money” Covered Calls · An investor holds 1000 shares of QQQQ on August 17th, 2006 valued at $38.00 per share· The investor writes 10 call options at $38.00 per share strike price for his QQQQ holdings with an expiration date of Friday September 15, 2006 @ $.20 per share· When the call options sell, the investor receives $200 in his account.

You may begin to wonder the type of name I am talking about here. Is it the name of a person such as John, Peter, and so on? Well, I am referring to the name your parents gave to you or the name you gave to yourself when you were growing up. Wait a minute, I discovered that many people changed their names when they grew up because they think or believe that the name they were bearing before was affecting their lives negatively. So they look for names of people that have made it or are making it in life and give such names to themselves.No wonder, I have not seen anyone that answers or wants to answer the so-called bad names such as Jezebel, etc. I believe that there is something in a name. But this context is not talking about names; it’s talking establishing your online presence in such a way that almost anyone that surfs the web knows about your

Trade shows are an excellent opportunity for your business to get concentrated exposure in front of a targeted audience.Asking the right questions about the trade show to make sure the event is a good fit for you and your company, the appearance of your trade show display, and how you decide to set up your space will all determine whether the trade show is a wise investment for you.If your company or organization is only half-heartedly considering participation in a trade show you’ve heard about or attended once or twice, forget it.
