One of my favorite passive income streams that I frequently discuss is options trading. I have had success using two different types of option strategies which include deep in the money calls and covered calls. Several years ago, I only participated in online stock trading and didn’t have good understanding of the power of options! Over the past few years, I have read many books on the topic and have gotten a lot of options advice, which has helped me to limit my risks and maximize returns.
Using a sound option trading system that limits your risk can help an investor accelerate their return without all of the high capital requirements of trading typical stocks. Investors interested in adding options trading as an income stream must spend the time to research and learn how options work. As I noted above, trading options can help to accelerate your return. Likewise, an investor who jumps right into trading options can lose 100% of their investment in a very short time. There are many resources available to investors that can help them get up to speed and form their own trading strategies. OEX Options is one example of a resource that can be used to learn everything you would like to know about options trading. In fact, they currently are offering a 15-Day Free Trial for their Level 2 Monthly subscription.
For an additional resource on trading covered call options, check out my recent article on eHow titled - How to sell covered call options.
