I buy tickets, but not too often. And they can go months without me checking them. About 6 years ago, the couple in the house TWO DOORS DOWN from me, same style of house even, won $3.75 million. What are the odds that I'll ever win? LOL
They moved, of course  But they are good people - everyone was really happy for them

20% yield, wouldn't that be nice.
Beats the -25% that seems to be more standard these days!!! I'll settle for a 2% yield nowadays! Heck, 0% would be better!! For crying out loud.

Say you bought 100 shares of company ABC for $14. You could then write a covered call option, a month out, with a strike price of $15, and receive a premium of .70 per share. A few things can happen. At strike date: You get assigned on or before, and make $1 per share, plus the .70/share option premium, 1.70, on $14, in a month. Annualized return: 145% You don't get assigned, meaning you keep the premium and still own the shares. $.70 per share on $14 and still own the shares. Annualized return: 60% Share price goes down to $12, you can buy back the option you wrote for $.10/share, you still own the stock, and have made $.60/share. Annualized return: 51%. If it is a company you like then it should go up eventually. Disclaimer: Options are not for the weak at heart. This is not a recommendation, just an example of what could happen.
