Income Strategies

Putting Your Assets to Work

You’ve learned the basics of what options are and the safety rules for using them in your IRA. Now, it’s time to put that knowledge into practice.

This section is the heart of our program. Here, you will find simple, step-by-step guides to the two most powerful and widely used income strategies for retirement investors: the Covered Call and the Cash-Secured Put.

These are not “get rich quick” schemes. They are conservative, time-tested methods for generating consistent income from assets you already have—or wish to acquire. Our focus is on repeatable processes that can help you supplement your retirement income, month after month.

Strategy 1: The Covered Call – Earning Income from Stocks You Already Own

Do you own at least 100 shares of a stable, blue-chip stock? If so, this is the perfect place to start. The Covered Call strategy allows you to generate a new stream of income from your existing stock holdings, almost like collecting rent on a property you own. It’s the most common options strategy used by long-term investors for a reason: it’s simple, effective, and IRA-compliant.

In this guide, you will learn:

  • How to select the right stocks from your portfolio.
  • A step-by-step process for selling your first covered call.
  • How to manage the position and understand the possible outcomes.

Strategy 2: The Cash-Secured Put – Getting Paid to Buy Stocks at a Discount

What if you have cash in your IRA that you’d like to put to work? This strategy allows you to get paid for simply agreeing to buy a high-quality stock you already want, but at a lower price than it’s trading for today. It’s a patient and disciplined way to acquire the cornerstones of your portfolio while generating income from your cash reserves.

In this guide, you will learn:

  • How to identify a target stock and your ideal entry price.
  • The step-by-step process for selling a cash-secured put.
  • How this strategy helps you buy great companies for less.

The Next Level: The “Wheel” Strategy – Combining Both Strategies for Continuous Income

Once you are comfortable with both Covered Calls and Cash-Secured Puts, you can combine them into a powerful, systematic loop known as “The Wheel.” This strategy provides a complete framework for continuously generating income by cycling between selling puts to acquire stock and then selling calls against that stock until it’s sold. It’s a disciplined approach perfectly suited for the long-term retirement investor.
