Seller's Paradise

The Trade Desk (TTD) has an 8-year history of strong annual growth and beating earnings. Out of 33 quarters they missed estimates 3 times. In the last couple of weeks the stock fell 30% because of a 2% revenue miss (and still grew 22% year over year). Overreaction? We think so. This kind of volatility creates high option premiums and an attractive entry point for covered call writers. See full article: Bull Case For TTD.

Not everyone is an expert covered call investor (yet!). We all started off slow and with lots of questions. It can be quite confusing for first timers. This article covers some covered call terminology, and how the trade works (with an example): Covered Calls For Beginners.

Some people like to use a "poor man's covered call" where you buy a LEAP instead of shares and then short a call option. Technically, this kind of spread is called a Diagonal Spread, which is 2 options with different expiration dates and strike prices.

There are pros and cons. The chief pro is that it requires less capital than a straight covered call where you buy the shares. The negatives include that time can now be against you, and there are certain stock price patterns that do not work well for this strategy (and could be better if you owned the shares). See the arguments on both sides: LEAP Covered Writes (Diagonal Spreads).
