Covered calls can be very profitable investment tools when you learn how they work.  Compound Stock Earnings (CSE) specializes in teaching investors how to write covered call options.  They have a market leading support program to help their clients begin earning monthly incomes of 3-6% a short time after learning CSE's strategy for writing covered calls.

Learning a new investment strategy is a lot like learning to drive a car.  First, find someone to teach you.  Then get behind the wheel, get comfortable and make sure you can see in all directions.  Start the engine and make sure you don't see any problems by checking all the indicators.  Drive off slowly and get the feel of the pedals and the steering wheel.  Stay out of traffic and away from highways until you are confident that you can retain control of the vehicle at all times.  Begin to get accustomed to doing several things at once while the vehicle is moving, like watching signs and using turn signals, talking on the phone and eating a doughnut.  When you finally move up to merging onto the freeway, you'll probably find yourself sometimes exceeding the speed limit and you'll need to slow down.  But if you really like the feeling, you might end up learning how to drive race cars.

Learning to write covered calls follows a similar pattern.  First, find someone who has been writing covered calls successfully and see how it's done.  When you think you're ready, review your portfolio to decide on an investment plan that makes you comfortable.  Start by paper trading, rather than jumping into real money investments.  Check your progress to make sure you are on the right track.  Then you can slowly begin investing real money, and get the feel of how it all works in the marketplace.  As you get more comfortable and begin making profits, you can start adding more covered calls.  Wait until you are comfortable with two before you write a third.  Avoid becoming distracted and getting off course.  If you start to feel overwhelmed, you'll want to slow down.  When you are successfully writing covered calls and making a nice income, you might want to learn some advanced strategies, like LEAPS, to help you be even more successful at writing covered calls.

Covered calls pose about the same risk as parked cars.  It is the writer, or the driver, that usually creates the snags.  Not learning how to write covered calls the correct way is one problem.  Going too fast before gaining the necessary skills is another.  And refusing to heed indicators can lead to bigger problems.
