popular podcast offered online in iTunes because it's based on one thing and

one thing only and that's helping you guys make smarter trades. So thanks so much for tuning in today.

We've got an awesome episode for you guys today talking about covered calls.

really blow your mind and kind of change your way of thinking as to how options can be beneficial even if you've never traded them before.

about what a covered call is, right?

So we're going to break down kind of, you know, how you build it, what the mechanics of a cover call is and then

we're gonna talk about when you would use them so what are the types of

situations that you would use them and I'll kind of share an example of one that I've done before consistently in a stock
