Selling stock options is a proven way to lower your cost-basis and beat the market on a consistent basis. Two such low-risk strategies are covered call writing and selling cash-secured puts. This course from Dr. Alan Ellman, President of The Blue Collar Investor Corp., will detail how to incorporate both strategies into one, multi-tiered option-selling strategy where you either generate cash-flow or buy stocks at a discount. He refers to it as the Put-Call-Put (PCP) Strategy (also known as the wheel strategy). Option and strategy basics, as well as the pros and cons, will be discussed and real-life examples will be analyzed. This seminar is appropriate for those who look to generate modest, but consistent, returns.

Option basics will be reviewed prior to developing these crypto option-selling strategies.
