For me, the covered call strategy is one of the most practical ways to generate income from my stock holdings. Since I usually hold positions through market noise, selling calls lets me collect premiums instead of waiting passively. It’s a simple yet effective way to enhance returns, especially when I don’t expect big market moves.

What I like most is its flexibility. In a mild uptrend, I can still capture gains if the strike is set high enough, while in a sideways or slightly down market, the premium cushions losses. Of course, profits are capped in strong rallies, but that’s a fair trade-off for steady income.

With rate cut expectations fueling uncertainty and volatility likely underestimated, I find covered calls especially suitable in the coming months. They provide some downside buffer while keeping me invested—exactly the balance I’m looking for.
