Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah owns a hundred Apple shares at forty-five
Stock's been climbing steady, portfolio's alive
But she craves some extra income, monthly cash to claim
Writes a call at fifty strike, playing the covered game

[Chorus]
Own the stock, sell the call
Covered calls protect from fall
Pocket premium every time
Income flows like perfect rhyme
If it's called away, that's fine
Profit locked, the stars align

[Verse 2]
Premium hits her account, two dollars per share
Two hundred bucks collected from the contract she'll bear
If Apple stays below fifty when expiration comes
She keeps the cash and shares intact, her strategy hums

[Chorus]
Own the stock, sell the call
Covered calls protect from fall
Pocket premium every time
Income flows like perfect rhyme
If it's called away, that's fine
Profit locked, the stars align

[Bridge]
Conservative investors love this gentle trade
Sideways markets, perfect match for income parade
But if the stock rockets past your strike price high
Wave goodbye to shares above, let the profit fly

[Verse 3]
Risk is opportunity cost when stocks explode
Missing gains beyond the strike, that's the heavy load
But downside gets cushioned by the premium earned
Partial hedge against the losses, lesson learned

[Chorus]
Own the stock, sell the call
Covered calls protect from fall
Pocket premium every time
Income flows like perfect rhyme
If it's called away, that's fine
Profit locked, the stars align

[Outro]
Monthly income, capped upside
Covered calls, your steady guide
