The mainstream “press” does not want you to pay attention to option strategies such as covered calls.  There is a conspiracy here – and it’s meant to keep you ignorant to a sector of the market that just doesn’t fit in with the “buy stocks and mutual funds” mantra that makes Wall Street money.

We are in the midst of the worst economy in decades. Corporate earnings are falling. Unemployment is rising. And there looks to be no relief in sight. While the stock market is due for a bounce (probably a big one), there is no doubt that the general trend is still down.
