Goldman Sachs' Dividend Growth basket contains 50 stocks with a median expected 2016 yield of 3%. Goldman expects these companies to raise their dividends by an average of 12% in 2016. In comparison, the median S&P 500 stock has an expected dividend yield of 2.2% and an expected median dividend growth of 7% next year.

TheStreet then took Goldman's list of 50 stocks and chose 10 based on expected dividend growth of 15% or more along with higher than average ratings according to TheStreet. Born To Sell then took that list and layered on covered calls. See our article Goldman Picks Stocks For Dividend Increases.

Jesse Clinton, financial advisor at Snowden Lane, said it was the perfect time to profit from a covered call strategy. "The covered call index is up about 3% this year while the S&P is down about 3%, so there is a big difference there in terms of writing these calls and getting some protection from the volatility," said Clinton. Watch TheStreet's interview with Jesse and why Snowden Lane Likes Covered Calls.

In the middle of September we posted news that the Department of Labor was considering a new rule that would prohibit using listed options in IRA accounts (so no more covered calls in IRA accounts, for example). We'd like to thank the hundreds of people who responded to our call for action before the Sep 24th deadline. Hopefully the powers that be heard us and will reconsider their misguided proposed rule change. We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything on this topic.

We ran this article last month and it was well received. Given the market's recent moves, it bears repeating (pun, sadly, intended). The article shows 6 ways to repair your underwater positions. The numbers have changed since the article was written but the strategies are the same. Please see 6 Ways To Do Stock Repair. (And, let us hope we don't have to run this article again.)
