One of the most popular strategies is called the "Covered Call." It’s pretty straightforward.
So, let’s say you own 100 shares of the SPY ETF, which tracks the S&P 500. For this example, imagine SPY is currently priced at $400.
You can sell a call option on those shares. For instance, you might sell a 1-month call option with a strike price of $420, and let’s say you get a premium of $2 per share.
By selling that option, you’d make $200 right away from the premiu...

I get the purpose of innovation because it is the main driver of capitalism. Innovation makes a better product without losing appeal by over complicating its use. Companies can sometimes damage their products appeal by adding so many features it starts to drive away its customers.

(Kuala Lumpur, 3rd) Analysts pointed out that the stock performance of gambling companies last year lagged behind the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI, but they believe it will gradually rebound in the first half of 2025.
Dahua Jixian pointed out: 'We believe that the industry's profit growth, undervalued financial indicators, and generous dividend yield are very compatible with our potential lagging investment strategy.'
'We expect profits to strengthen seasonally from the fourth quarter of the 2024 fiscal year (4Q24) to the first half of 2025, mainly due to the influx of international tourists and a strong domestic consumption trend.'
This will lead to a gradual recovery of the industry's stock price in the first half of this year, but the momentum is relatively mild.
According to the data from this research institution, the trend of tourism consumption is still in a growth range, with a year-on-year increase of 4.9% in consumer spending in the third quarter of 2024.
"Our channel survey shows that the business volume of two sectors, casinos and numbers forecast operations, remained strong between October and November 2024."
"In the casino sector, multiple related indicators (such as flight capacity and international tourist visitation) have all increased month-on-month. As for the numbers forecast operations, lottery sales have recovered and stabilized at over 90% of the pre-pandemic levels."
The report points out that the valuation of the Gambling industry is currently 1.5 to 2 standard deviations below the average level, very attractive as it is still in the early stages after the pandemic.
"In addition, the industry still offers a lucrative weekly dividend yield of 5.1% to 10.5%, benefiting from the period between 2024 and 2025...
