Kevin Simpson has been the President and Chief Investment Officer of Capital Wealth Planning, LLC since establishing the firm in 2005.
Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kevin has been investing in options since he began his career at W.H. Newbold's Sons & Co. in 1992.

Surprisingly, covered call writing would be less-than-ideal for your objectives. (And, I say this from someone who sells calls for a living.) Covered calls can actually reduce the risk of a portfolio. The criticism against this strategy is that it can potentially forfeit some of a stock’s upward trajectory. If a stock exceeds your strike price, you will be selling the position. For many investors, covered call writing is a great way to generate extra income and create a modest hedge. However, for an aggressive investor, seeking higher returns with a higher risk profile – a long-only strategy with the potential for greater upside capture may be a better way to go.
