What's a Covered Call?

The covered call is a strategy where an investor writes a call option contract (sells an option) while at the same time owning an equivalent number of shares of the underlying stock.If this stock is purchased simultaneously with writing the call contract, the strategy is commonly referred to as a buy-write.

While you may have heard that trading options is risky business, covered calls are actually a very conservative strategy, and most brokerages even allow retirement IRA accounts to write covered calls.

We all know Apple Inc (AAPL) has been beat to hell and it should make a slow but steady comeback.  Mastery also wants you to consider International Business Machines (IBM) in that mind frame and don't forget SunPower Corp (SPWR).

Mastery likes First Solar (FSLR), GT Advanced Technologies Inc (GTAT) and SunPower Corp (SPWR). Why these stocks? Because they are the safest of the Solar Stocks out there. You don't want to touch China Solar with a 10 foot pole.

Here are the Master's picks:

Fellow Masters, all that matters is the Electoral College vote, that's it.  Who cares what you and I think, it doesn't matter, it all comes down to the electoral vote.  Nate Silver at the New York Times who's models are money in the bank has it pegged at a 90% chance of Obama winning the electoral vote.  Thus, its time to load up on these Obama inspired stocks.

The Commerce Department affirmined its ruling yesterday that certain Chinese companies dumped their products on the U.S. market and received unfair subsidies from the Chinese government.

Behold the greatness that is Stock Mastery.

Tough day for shareholders of Nintendo (NTDOY), SunPower Corp (SPWR), FriendFinder Networks (FFN), and First Solar (FSLR).  All three of these stocks touched new 52-week lows.  Mastery reviews.
