I sell cash-secured puts on companies I would be comfortable owning and covered calls against shares I already own. In exchange, I receive option premiums.
The premium is not free money. A cash-secured put means I am committing enough cash to buy the shares if assigned, while a covered call means I may have to sell shares I already own at the agreed price.
