Options 101

Options 101 - High Premium (up front money)

Some of the best options premiums in the market right now seem to be Hecla Mining Company (HL). I have been buying and selling covered calls on HL for the last +12-months.

Here is an example of buying the stock today at market, and selling a covered call at market:

If you buy HL today at $5.88 and sell options with $6 strike in June (57 days) for $0.42, you will make 7% today. If the stock hits the strike price of $6 and the option is actioned you will make an additional 2% profit on the stock.
