Series 7 Exam Prep 46, Covered Calls and Protective Puts

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - A covered call is an income strategy where you sell a call against a stock you own, capping your upside but lowering your breakeven point. - The breakeven for a covered call is the stock's cost basis minus the premium received. - A protective put is a risk management strategy where you buy a put to set a floor on the potential loss of a stock you own. - The breakeven for a protective put is the stock's cost basis plus the premium paid. - Suitability is key: covered calls are for neutral-to-bullish investors seeking income, while protective puts are for bullish investors seeking downside protection.
