Conservative Options Strategy with Brian Terry CFP
I learned a lot from this great discussion with Brian Terry CFP. Brian shared his conservative covered call strategy where he is selling in the money calls on stocks using weekly options with the intent of getting called away every week. I've known Brian for a couple years now and I know he leans on the conservative side of trading and he thinks this strategy is great for conservative traders in retirement. It's an interesting twist on strategy used to create additional income. Brian runs a Facebook group dedicated to this strategy.Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/742852742909259You can also find him on Meetup.com where he runs a monthly Zoom meeting where he and others share various options strategies that are working.
