If you are near retirement or retired, you need a side hustle (business) or a job to generate a steady income.

Stock picking and trading covered calls and cash secured puts is a great business and hobby if you take the time to learn and do the work.

There are only a few big stocks and ETFs with liquid options.

And there are a lot of ways to trade them, depending on your risk aversion, time and financial situation.

Stock Picking, Trading Options for Income is for newbies and veteran traders. Our mission is to help you learn the tricks of the trade. We show how we pick stocks and set up our covered calls and cash secured puts (CSP) to generate annualized returns of from 7% or 8% to our average of about 17% annualized without taking too many risks.

I link to my resources and relevant articles, which I comment on. I respond to comments and questions. My mission is to help readers make better trading decisions. Beware, I’m a private speculator and trader, not a financial advisor. I take no responsibility for how or when others trade. Do your homework. Please!
