Wanted to share something real that happened recently.

A real estate broker in the UAE used our platform, Dialoft AI, to run a cold calling campaign — entirely AI-driven, no human callers. The campaign ran during a public holiday when most people assume no one's answering their phones.

Here’s what the results looked like:

• 640 cold calls completed
• 3.4 hours total (using 7 concurrent calls)
• 37 booked demos
• 9 clients closed
• ~AED 3.2M in sales value
• ~AED 128K in net profit

There was no call center, no manual dialing, no outreach team. Just one AI voice agent making contextual, personalized calls at scale.

Some things that made this work:

• They used high-quality decision-maker data
• The AI didn’t sound robotic — it was conversational and adapted to the context
• Everything ran through Dialoft AI’s batchcalling feature — upload leads, set the script, and let it run

You can check the tool here: dialoftai.com

This isn’t some overhyped automation trick. It’s just an example of what happens when you combine good data with the right tech — before the rest of the market catches on.

The cold email space is saturated. Human cold calling is expensive. But AI cold calling, when done right, is becoming a serious growth channel.

Just wanted to share the results for anyone thinking about testing outbound again. If you’re curious how this works or want to try a batch campaign for your own business, happy to help.

This space is still early — but not for long.

With 900k portfolio and making 5-7k a week in ccs in last 4 months, I am down to making 1-2k/week in last 2 weeks and lost most of the unrealized gains in last 6-7 months and half the stocks are now in red. I would like to continue to cc far out otm closer or slightly under my cost basis and keep doing weekly calls to make some money. Don’t expect a v turnaround. This one will take time.

What are others doing? Staying low and waiting for markets to recover?

I’m sure we’ve all seen our portfolios drop due to the tariffs. And most of us have been buying puts to bring in income. Wed-Fri was amazing. Some of us even sold/moved some of our investments ahead of this to avoid the downturn. But we all know red days are the best time to shop and I’m looking for the next batch of stocks to buy to sell CCs. I have about a year + experience w/CC. It’s one of my favorite technqs.

I broke this potential list into two sections—1 the more riskier inexpensive and 2 the more stable stronger companies/etfs. And of course, looking to buy stable long holds. Let me know your thoughts and what you’re looking to buy also.

1. APLD, MSTU, ACHR, SOUN, CLSK, SOXL, SOFI, GRRR, BITO

2. OKLO, HIMS, HOOD, SCHD

Noob here. I have 2k tesla shares that is not doing so hot. $800 in 2.2 years seems out of reach, and if it did hit that thats $1.6M for me.l (ty elon, but FU elon)

Should i sell and get $60k now? Seems like a no brainer but dafuq do i know

Do you ever roll below your cost basis when the stock is underwater due to market condition and the breakeven strike CC now pays you peanuts?

Finally, an upside today to push premiums a bit higher! I usually wait for the market to rise before selling my covered calls. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and still feel that excitement and desire, so it’s sometimes hard to stay disciplined when the market stays down for so long and the calls don’t look as attractive. Patience is key.

Strike $95 - 7.6% upside for 7 business days. 1.8% premium yield.

With PLTR trading at $88, I'm banking $2.37K upfront while capping upside at $95. That’s a 9.5% total return if assigned.

I’ve been holding PLTR for a while now, and I’m comfortable with the idea of assignment at a higher strike price. The stock feels a bit pricey to me at the moment, though I still believe in the company’s fundamentals, it’s a solid business with a strong foundation. Selling this covered call lets me capture a healthy premium, which I’ve been using to generate consistent income. That cash flow has been a great way to reinvest and diversify my portfolio, balancing my exposure while still staying in the game. It’s a practical move that aligns with my long-term strategy, allowing me to capitalize on PLTR’s current valuation without overcommitting to its upside.

Hi All,

So I took on the task of learning to option trade at end of January and into early February. I've been investing and trading equities for a long time, but never got into options. So, after a couple of weeks of watching videos, reading articles and talking with a friend of mine that does option trading I dove in starting February 10th with the idea to just try to generate some extra income.

My timing, unfortunately, turned out not to be ideal with the market so volatile and swinging wildly with more down than up and my severe lack of experience in option trading in this kind of market. However, it's been an interesting learning experience with lots of ups and downs and overall I have a very positive outlook on the long term potential.

To date, I have pocketed $70,102 in premiums in 515 transactions during those 7 weeks. This doesn't count any net gain from assigned calls. While I am trading with a decent amount of capital, it's not as much as you might think either.

I've probably been around 75% of my trades as covered calls and the rest as puts. I've actually been doing a bit more with puts the last couple of weeks. As you can imagine with over 500 transaction in 7 weeks, I very aggressively open and close positions and chase premiums. This can definitely pay off sometimes, with my best week being $21k but with my worst being -$3,500. I also don't even give it a 2nd thought...well, maybe a little, when a stock moves past my strike, gets assigned and I lose "potential" gains.

Now, with that said, am I $70K richer? Nope, not quite that much when all is said and done. I've made some mistakes and some bad calls along the way, one being accidentally short selling some stock that ended up costing me a chunk of money when I was still learning to navigate ThinkOrSwim (yes, very dumb I know). I also "reached" on some stocks that I wasn't as familiar with to chase higher premiums. I've since been much more selective on my trades and sticking with companies I am much more confident with long term. Since most of my trading is covered calls, I've definitely suffered from asset devaluation over the last 3-4 weeks as well. But, like I said I am quite positive for the long term viability of this as I learn more of what to do and not to do.

Couple of snips attached. One is the end of my transaction log showing my total and the other of my list of stocks I work through and trade against. I don't have active positions in all the stocks listed, I just move through them week to week.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Good luck out there!

I have sold a Jan 2026 call with 80 strike and have also sold a 4/4/25 call with 90 strike. It If I get called this Friday is my broker likely to stop me from selling a put to buy the shares back and force me to limit buy the shares again before next year. I’m not sure how it will affect my excess liquidity if the call gets exercised. I’m guessing that it will increase as I have more cash in my account but the maint margin will increase by the value of the long call as it is no longer covered or is it already factored in.

Hey all, so I'm learning to do covered calls. I've got 1100 dollars to play with. I'm looking to aggressively multiply my income over the next year. I'm looking to do itm covered calls on dividend stocks or etf's. I'm not asking for research or freebies. But i am looking for a handful of tickers to look at that i could buy 100 shares of, and write the contacts. Preferably monthly dividends but quarterly can work as well. Any help will be appreciated.

Looking for opinions on tickers for covered calls. I am looking at TSLL and RGTI mainly because of price range. Looking to sell a cash secured put to full the position and then calls afterwards. Not marrying the ticker so if they get called away I repeat the process. Ant opinions on tickers world be awesome. Looking forward to some smart comments as well. I do like Wendy's. Thanks in advance.

Bought a deap itm 2027 Qqq leap and a July 31st 500 call. I'm currently selling against these to add a little income on this downturn. My total cash value in my account is around 14k. My cash sweep says it's at 10k and my available option trading amount is at 4k. These are rough numbers.

Why is so much tied up in cash sweep when the short call should counter the long call?

Does anyone have historical data or back testing for this strategy. It would involve selling a monthly "close to the money" covered call, collecting the premium, and then entering a limit order above the sold covered call strike price. Then if and when the covered call matures, doing it again, each month. i was thinking of something like SPY or QQQ, and maybe putting the limit at around 5-10%, so as to not miss any run up. Any thoughts.

Does anybody else buy stock for the sole purpose of selling a cc on it…. Case in point Buy xom at 119… then sell a covered call for next Friday at 1.28. Bit over 1% premium. On Friday make the decision to roll, let it be called if price is 119 or above … or let it expire if below and sell another contract on Monday morning…

Would this make sense to do? The new premium is enough to buy back my old call, and leave me with profit if this one got assigned.

I got 100 shares for $8.38

The new short call roll is ITM so would it be assigned right away?

I’m also dumb and don’t trust QUBT as much as I thought I would.

Anyone skipping this week or believes it's priced in? Perhaps a softer tone from Trump may cause an upwards move?

What percentage of your net worth do you sell covered calls on?
For instance, if you sell covered calls on $100k worth of stocks and you have a net worth of $400k, that would be 25%.

I'm just starting out on selling covered calls and I'm at about 15% right now.

I’m new to covered calls and submitted 5 orders expiring on 4/4 with a strike price of $114. Do you guys think it will get assigned??

I am liquidating an investment property because it no longer performs well for income and I am too over weighted in real estate. The goal is to preserve NAV with some upside and continue to receive income. I will withdrawn $2,000 every month from this account. I'll net $250,000 after taxes and fees from the sale of the rental. The account has at least a 5 year timeline.

Some of these share prices are lower now, I didn't update all of the share prices with the end of week sell off but the strategy ultimately remains the same and I won't have the money for about 30-60 days so some of this will adjust anyway

So, let's do this - go ahead and tell me where I'm messing up.

$250,000 to invest and generate income

CD = 50k 4% for 5 years = 60k (+) at maturity

SET AND FORGET POSITIONS:

Position 1: 1300 shares of ibit 48/share=$66,000

Sell 13 contracts 3/20/2026 70 strike = $7,800

Position 2: 1000 shares of smci 42/share = $42,000

Sell 10 contracts 3/20/2026 65 strike = $8000

Position 3: 300 shares of ELF 65/share = $19,500

Sell 3 contracts 3/20/2026 80 strike = $4,200

Position 4: 200 shares of AMZN 198/share = $39,600

Sell 2 contract 3/20/2026 225 strike = $3600

Position 5: 100 shares of MSTR 290/share = $29,000

Sell 1 contract 3/20/2026 440 Strike = $6,000

Cash in account after these 5 positions and cc income=33,500

MANAGED POSITION:

Position 6: 500 shares smci = $21,000

Sell 5 contracts 45 dte 48 strike (14% upside)=$1500 

If stock goes up then roll this every 2 weeks, for about $500 ev 2 weeks, try to go up $1/strike with each roll. If stock price goes down, let it go for the 45 days.

The goal being to always have premium collected for the year + upside =$4,000 or more. 

Final Cash in account=14,000 - this will then have 2k/month come out, and pos 6 income added. If position 6 gets called then I can decide if I want to reenter the position or sit on the extra cash.

Final data:

Annual return estimates:

Guaranteed income: Set it and forget it income + 1^st premium from pos 6 = 31,100

Real guaranteed return: Set it and forget it income + 1^St premium from pos 6 + CD income = 33,100

Best case scenario: Set it and forget it income + 8 premiums/constant rolls from pos 6 + CD income = 43,600

NAV after all positions, not counting CD:

Stocks worth $217,100 + Cash in account of $14,000 = $231,100

NAV assuming same share price after 1 year (and only 1 round of income from pos 6) and after taking 24,000 in disbursments = $231,100 – 24,000=207,100

NAV as above + CD value = $259,100

I've been looking for this answer but i haven't find anywhere where they answer it.

The strike price of F options contracts changed after the special dividend came. It came down .15 cents after that, then instead of being 10, the strike price now is 9.85. I would like to know, when the strike prices go back to normal. I mean 9.5, 10, 10.5.

With a catastrophic put under the stock just in case?

I own stocks and want to do cover calls on them but my cost is higher than current market price. Does anyone have any good advice on how I should do this? Or another strategy I should use to help offset losses.

Lurking here I've noticed a lot of people sell CC on PLTR. Looking through the options it has a much higher IV than a lot of other stocks that are on my list.

Can anyone explain why PLTR has a high IV? Also is there a list of popular stocks to sell CC on that have high IV?
