Today, we say goodbye to 2016 and open the door to a fresh start in 2017. This is the time of year we embark on hairy ass new goals in hope of transforming our lives. Hey, I am one of you too. I have goals to improve my health, lose some weight and more achieve community related goals. Of course, the one constant is to maintain focus on growing my investing income. My foundation for income is the PCD Income Strategy.
I use put selling to create my favorite income strategy – the Put-Call-Dividend (PCD) Income Strategy. This is simple selling puts each month on a select stock to collect monthly income. If the stock gets put to me, then I sell covered call options for more income while also collecting dividends paid by the stock. I sell call options for premium each month until the stock is called away from me. Then, I will start selling puts against the stock again. This strategy is exactly why I only sell puts on stocks I want to own – world class, strong dividend stocks.
I view the PCD Strategy as an opportunity to collect up to three separate income streams from a single stock selection. I prefer this strategy compared to the buy and hold of owning a stock that only pays dividends every quarter and may have a capital gain in the future. This prevents me from having to time the market and wait for a return. I want to create monthly income so the PCD Strategy presents the best opportunity to achieve this objective regardless of market direction.
Remember this: Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. This is your year to get started growing your income tree. Join our monthly income plan to jumpstart your 2017 goals.
