Selling PREMIUM
A primary strategy that Doodles use to generate income from cash balance with Option Selling. Capital dollars is an important part of any asset allocation. It allows an investor to take advantage of opportunities in stocks when markets pullback and it protects the rest of your portfolio if unforeseen spending requirements arise. The problem with cash, particularly in today’s environment, is the negative real interest rates you earn on any cash investments. Fortunately, you don’t have to put up with poor returns on cash. Option selling is a mildly aggressive income strategy which done right can generate 10-20% annual returns with not much risk!
