Imagine you own shares in a company - let's say 100 shares in Apple. You believe that the share price will tend to move sideways in the near future. Instead of simply holding on, you can generate extra income with covered calls.

This is how it works:

- You own the shares (hence "covered").

- You sell a call option on these shares. This gives someone else the right to buy your shares at a certain price (strike) up to a certain date.

- You receive a premium for this sale - and that is your income.

What can happen?

1. the price remains below the strike:

=> Nobody exercises the option, you keep your shares and the premium. Win!

2. price rises above the strike:

=> Your shares are "taken", you have to sell them at the strike. You receive less than the current market price, but you keep the premium.

What is this good for?

- Additional income in sideways markets.

- Some risk protection through the premium.

The risks?

- Limited profit potential (because you have to sell the shares if they rise sharply).

- If the share falls sharply, the premium only protects you a little - you still bear the price risk.

In short: covered calls are like rental income for your shares - you give up profits but collect regular premiums (dividends, etc.).

I have looked at a large number of REITs, including $O (-0,08%) but also $CUBE (-1,52%) , $EGP (-0,61%) , $VICI (+0,55%) , $MAA (-0,03%) , $REXR (+0%) and many more. After a planned filtering (only USA, min. 3 % DIV, very high sales/earnings ratio and others), 4 buyable REITs remained, which I then analyzed with 2 tools. In the end, 2 buy stocks came out for me and I bought one directly; the buy limit for the other is just under 1.2% below the current price. I'm excited, this is my first investment in a REIT. Take a look at the portfolio or the video.

Note after comments: Stock Finder and Stock Guide. AF usually looks better, but I actually make more returns when I "trust" the company more.

Have a nice day and best regards,

In January I decided to set up a dividend portfolio for myself. I immediately used the setback in February to end my one-year "test phase" as a stock market novice and start my long-term plan. In addition to two dividend-paying ETFs for retirement provision $XDWL (+0%) & $XSX7 (+0,66%) I want to build up a strong portfolio through stable dividend stocks, regular purchases and reinvestment of dividends.

I would like to take you with me on my journey and now share regular updates on the development of my portfolio.

You can find my goals and how I want to achieve them in my first post → My path to financial freedom: I'm building a dividend portfolio - goals & strategy 📈💰

(https://getqu.in/T7yDJe/)

📊 My current dividend portfolio (sorted by market capitalization):

1️⃣ $SAP (+0,26%) - Europe's largest software group with a stable dividend policy

2️⃣ $BAC (-0,4%) - One of the largest US banks with a solid payout

3️⃣ $AXP (-0,36%) - Strong brand with long-term potential

4️⃣ $ALV (+0,41%) - High dividend yield & strong financials

5️⃣ $DB1 (+0,68%) - Benefits from rising trading volumes

6️⃣ $BATS (+0,65%) - High dividend yield & stable cash flow

7️⃣ $MO (+0,51%) - Continuous dividend increases, but regulatory risks

8️⃣ $O (-0,08%) - The famous "Monthly Dividend Company" REIT

9️⃣ $INGA (-0,18%) - European bank with attractive dividend yield

I start my journey with these 9 stocks. All of them convince me and are stable stocks. I'm not doing anything here for no reason. That's why there's a good reason for every stock I buy.

If you would like to know why I chose one of the stocks, let's discuss it in the comments. I look forward to the exchange! 😊

I wish you a good start to the weekend!

... yesterday at

$NESN (+1,06%)

$O (-0,08%)

$MC (+0,04%)

the first positions yesterday.

I am aiming for an average dividend yield of over 2.5% across my entire portfolio. After picking up more of the (supposed) US tech dips recently, I wanted to diversify my portfolio geographically and sector-specifically again.

I had to weigh up between PepsiCo and Nestlé for a long time. In the end, I chose Nestlé to reduce my dependence on the US. While PepsiCo generates most of its sales in North America, Nestlé has a much more broadly diversified sales structure. I am keeping PepsiCo very high on my watch list due to its current correction.

I am planning my next investment steps in the financial and insurance sector, European mid-caps and Asian markets.

Have a relaxing weekend everyone!
