      Over time a long position usually does well. If I'm put the stock there's no immediate loss. I can then start selling calls. An iron condor loses money immediately and that's end of story.

Less capital intensive and defined risk for the IRA.
ReplySmall capital for now, covered would take all my BPR and I rather have multiple positions. It's a little tough though, to use only IC.
ReplyDefined risk
ReplyI don't know and its my fault - lol
ReplyMore cost effective since just started an IRA. However when build up more capital in that account Im sure Ill like covered calls better.
