PYPL covered call FAQ
How much premium does a PYPL covered call pay?
Premiums change daily with PayPal's stock price and implied volatility. The Covered Call Pro screener ranks live PYPL strikes by premium-per-day so you can see exactly what your shares could pay right now.
Do I need 100 shares of PYPL to sell a covered call?
Yes. One options contract covers 100 shares, so selling one covered call on PYPL requires owning at least 100 shares. If you own fewer, the position would not be "covered."
What is the risk of selling covered calls on PYPL?
The main trade-off is capped upside: if PayPal rises above your strike price by expiration, your shares can be called away at the strike. You keep the premium either way, but you give up gains beyond the strike. You also keep full downside exposure to the stock itself. This page is educational information, not investment advice.
