What is the proper way to sell call options to protect a long stock position?
A call option is the right to buy a specific stock at a set price (known as the strike price). for this "Right" to lock in a price, the option buyer pays the seller (also known as the grantor) money which is known as the Option Premium. Now here's where most folks get tripped up . . . You can enter the market by Buying the call (go long) or selling the call (grant, go short, or sell). If you buy the call, your risk is limited to the money that you paid the seller, i.e. the Option Premium. Your potential profit is unlimited, in the sense that if you hold the right to buy Apple at $500, you would continue to make money provided Apple continues to rise. However, if you are the seller or grantor - you sell a call - your profit is now limited to the Option Premium that you received, and your risk is unlimited. By selling the option you have essentially made a price guarantee on a stock in exchange for a lump sum payment - the option premium. So some investors utilize what is called "Covered Calls." They buy the underlying stock, say 1000 shares of apple. They are now "long" apple. Next they "Grant" (sell) call options against their long apple position. They receive the "option Premium" on the calls from the buyer, which is credited in their account. They are now long the stock, and short the call options. If apple stays the same or goes down, they owe the option purchaser nothing, and get to keep his money (option premium) once the options expire. If the price rises, the grantor is a loser on the option, but is covered by his long apple stock position, example - if he bought Apple at 400 and then granted Call options against it at a strike price of 400, if apple goes to 500 he essentially takes his winnings on his Apple Stock, and passes them (covers) his call option losses. So to clarify, your answer by selling calls against a long stock position, you lock in the option premium, which could essentially act as a limited cushion in the amount of that premium, should the stock price remain unchanged or fall in an amount of less than the option premium received.
