Alan answers a question from Brian from Lawrenceville, Georgia. Brian asks:
“Your online training material has been very helpful with my covered call writing. I have a question. When you go to write a covered call, how do you make the decision on whether to do an in-the-money or near-the-money call vs. an out-of-the-money call? Obviously, you get a higher premium on the in-the-monies, but if the stock goes up in value you won’t capture any upside.”

Hi Alan,
I am new to your site and was watching your strike price selection video. I don’t know if you are aware of it but there was some music playing while you were speaking. It was very distracting and was quite loud. Sounded like a drumb and cymbal .
Just wanted to let you know.
Steve,
Thanks for the feedback. These Ask Alan videos are produced with some background music/sounds. I’ll address this with my tech team.
Alan
