The coronavirus-related sell-off continues today. As I said yesterday, I believe the market is overreacting, but we must play the hand we are dealt.
Selling calls on stocks to generate cash and managing those calls aggressively is a great way to navigate markets like this one when you have a longer-term view of a company and a stock. And that’s exactly what we will be doing with our Nike (NKE) position today.
