"New Insights on Covered Call Writing" explains how options work, the technique of selling call options against stock that you already own, and why this is advantageous. I've done long-term stock for years, but a family member suggested I read this book and use the technique. The authors clearly explained how to do it and the pros and cons of various methods of covered call writing. I've got my first covered calls going now.

I've read over a dozen books on covered call investing. This is my favorite. No hype within. Just the facts on how and why to use the strategy to generate income.
