Forum For Covered Call Questions and Ideas
Where To Get Covered Call Help?
There are several investor forums where you can register and then ask questions for free. However, the biggest and best for covered calls is the groups.io group Just Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts.
The name says it all: They focus entirely on covered calls (and the equivalent trade: naked puts). It's free to join and ask questions.
Professional Moderation
The group was started in late 2006 and has over 450 members today. It is professionally moderated by two active covered call investors: Mike Artobello and Jeff Partlow.
In addition to moderating JustCoveredCalls, Mike and Jeff run their own covered call blogs where they post their trades: My Covered Call Blog (Mike) and Covered Calls Advisor (Jeff).
Mike and Jeff do a fantastic job of moderating the discussion. There is no spam on the board, and it is a cooperative, helpful, learning environment. There are no dumb questions and everyone is treated with respect.
