If you don't want to do anything fancy like put options, selling call options on the stocks you presently own is a good way to pick up some extra money, if you think the market may go down in the near future. You can't lose selling a covered call option. You always get to keep the premium. The only downside is if the stock goes up, then you miss out on some potential upside, but if you sell a call option above your buy price you still get to keep the call premium plus the extra amount of the strike price above your buy price. Look it up, it's very safe and a smart move "if" you think we are going to be in a bad economy. You can't lose money on it, you just may not make as much if the stock climbs above your strike price. I think my AGT is a fantastic car(with a few faults), but at present I am not enthusiastic about the near term for Lucid stock. Everybody keeps saying that the Saudis will always be a backstop for Lucid. Maybe so, but maybe not. If Lucid keeps hemorrhaging money, they may want to limit their losses. The Saudis are not dummies and I doubt they will keep supporting Lucid if the midsize car is not a hit. This is why it is so important that Lucid makes sure that their service and reliability is outstanding. If not, word gets around and it will be very unhelpful for the future of Lucid to get back on its feet. When Tesla first came out, their car was in almost every auto show and in the malls of every major city. In the last 4 years, Lucid have yet to put a Lucid in the Portland Auto show and no cars in the local malls. Their marketing leaves much to be desired. Even today after 4 years, many people come up to me, admire my car and say they never heard of the Lucid brand. That is pretty disgraceful. Short term I am pessimistic, long term who knows maybe they can turn things around. I only invest when I have a strong gut feeling backed up with good reasons why a stock will outperform, then I invest very heavily. Until I feel otherwise, there are other stocks besides Lucid that I have been betting on lately that I feel offer a better chance of a good return, which is a shame because Lucid makes a great automobile.
