Im a big fan of options trading, however you really have to be careful if you are trading them naked as you get into allot of trouble if you get exercised. I always sell options over a my portfolio not on a naked basis.

Young investors tend to buy high-dividend stocks, leaving less attention to slow growing ones which actually pay the same in long term. It depends a lot on your investment term.

Well, the Microsoft example was using figures from a few days ago, if you want to call that “quantitative.” It isn’t too far off from $28 right now, and the April calls are still selling for around $0.60 (granted, it’s still a little more than a month away from expiring, since the expiration is on April 18). There are plenty of other stocks out there that can provide similar returns with covered calls. I you are in the curious situation of owning an overvalued stock, your risk is on the downside potential of the stock price, not from receiving a small premium on a call.

Well, it’s not really 75% if you take into account the margin requirement. What was the real return if you account for the margin requirement? I don’t like selling naked options because of the very high margin requirements. I prefer to use use vertical spreads to limit losses as well as reduce the margin requirements. Even if you use stop loss orders, if the stock makes a big after-market/pre-market move against you, the stop loss isn’t going to help when the options market opens and your short is way more expensive to buy back.
