Covered Call
A covered call is a popular options strategy that involves owning (holding) the underlying asset and selling ("writing") call options on that same asset. When you sell a call option, you're giving someone the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying asset at a predetermined price (the strike price) within a certain time. In return, you receive a premium, which is essentially income for selling the option.
