## Resource

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how dividend investors can generate extra income by selling covered calls and cash-secured puts on their existing holdings. With the Fed funds rate at 3.62 percent and the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.56 percent, many dividend stocks are yielding less than bonds. Lucas explains the mechanics of a covered call using Coca-Cola (KO) at $81.34, showing how a 2 percent premium on a monthly call can boost effective yield. He also discusses selling put options on high-quality companies like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) to earn premium while waiting to buy at a lower price. Luna asks about risks, including early assignment and the need to hold stocks for the long term. They also touch on how the 30-year Treasury yield at 5.03 percent makes fixed-income alternatives more tempting, but options strategies can help bridge the gap for equity income investors.
