I logged in to check my bank account on a Monday morning two years ago. The balance was wrong.
WAY wrong...
The panic started. I clicked over to "Account Activity." I saw a $400 charge from a graphic design firm in Chicago. I didn't know any graphic designers in Chicago. I kept scrolling down the list of transactions.

In total, identity theft cost me over $2,000. In 48 hours.

To understand why the stock market does what it does, you need to think like a money manager. A very specific type of money manager...
That's because individual investors don't have much influence on stock prices. Nor do professional speculators or hedge funds.
So what is the strongest force driving stock prices?
The answer: institutional investors.
Institutional investors are the blue whales of the investing world. The rest of us are plankton, comparatively speaking.

If you live in the US, you're getting paid interest of less than 1% per year on your CD.
Bonds are yielding next to nothing. And dividend stocks are starting to look like a crowded play.
But there is a safe source of high yields available to you. It's a strategy called "covered call writing."
This strategy allows you to earn extra income on your dividend-paying stocks by collecting a steady stream of payments in the options market.
This may sound like a confusing – even a risky – way to boost your income. It isn't. You can use this strategy to double... or even triple... your regular dividend income over and over again without adding risk to your portfolio.
