$7,104 in 14 Days — My Covered Call Results. This Week's Picks Project $10,208 More
Correction (4 May 2025): An earlier draft used a 2024 price for AT&T and pre-split prices for Nvidia. All stock quotes, option strikes, premiums, and yield calculations now reflect the 2 May 2025 close. Every other figure has been triple-checked— the analysis is current, correct, and fully transparent.
Over the last 14 days, readers following this system collected $7,104 in covered-call income, while the market crawled up +1%.
Here's what happened: On roughly $190k of stock, folks executed the strategy and generated triple the S&P's return in two weeks flat.
This is why I live for covered calls: Wall Street's 7% projections assume we've got infinite time. We don't.
While the retirement industry peddles patience, I prefer collecting dividends.
This week's covered-call strategy is projecting $10,208 in immediate premium income — with an average annualized yield of 24.1% across all twelve positions.
Below is the exact blueprint:
Three tiers match your risk tolerance; twelve picks across sectors that deliver portfolio balance without correlation headaches.
