Five Ways To Generate Income With Options
Update: 2025-09-03
Description
In this segment, Tom and Tony explore multiple strategies for generating income through options trading. The discussion focuses on five key approaches: covered calls (turning 50-50 shots into favorable 2:1 odds), poor man's covered calls (buying long-dated options while selling shorter-term ones), omnidirectional put ratio spreads (buying one put at expected move while selling two further out-of-the-money puts), zebra strategies (synthetic long positions with limited downside), and risk reversals (selling puts to fund call purchases).
Each strategy was presented with practical examples and detailed breakdowns of debit/credit structures, profit mechanisms, risk levels, advantages, and disadvantages. They emphasized how these approaches can improve probability of profit beyond standard 50-50 stock positions while providing greater capital efficiency.
