| Investing into the stock market for the long term can be
pretty powerful. However if you are invested into a few
strong companies there are a few ways to make some extra
money today. So, how can you get some extra cash flow off of your long term investments? There are a couple ways to go about doing this. 1. Invest into Dividend stocks The easiest way to make passive income from your long term investments is to simply buy stocks that share a portion of their profits with their investors. This is called dividend investing. There is just one problem here. If you want to make a lot of passive income this way you are going to need to buy a lot of stock. That is because stocks typically pay out between 1-10% of their stock's value in dividends per year. But luckly there are other ways to make an income from your long term investment. 2. Covered Calls One more powerful way of making money in the stock market is to sell covered calls. This allows you to sell another investor the right to buy your stock from you at a specific price and make a premium for it. For example say you own stock XYZ and it is trading at $63. You can sell the $65 call and make money up front. There is one problem with this however, if the stock runs up fast you could end up getting out of the position early. In the above example if the stock shoots up to say $68 you would have to sell it at $65 because that was the strike price of the call that you sold. So only sell calls on stocks you are comfortable selling. 3. Sell Puts Another thing you can do is to sell a put option. This allows you to get a premium to buy the stock at a certain price somewhere in the future. So if the stock is trading at $40 you could sell the $40 put and be obligated to buy the stock at $40. This way you would get called into the stock if it dips below $40. It is an effective way to get paid to get into a long term investment. You may not get into the stock this way, but you would still make the premium. |
