For ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), for example, you could sell a put that expires in November at an exercise price of $60 for about $0.60. Since each contract covers 100 shares of stock, you would immediately receive $60. COP is trading at about $66.40 a share. If it is trading below $60 when the option expires, you would get the stock at a 10% discount to its recent price, paying $59.40 a share ($60 strike price minus $0.60 premium collected for selling the option).

If ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) is above $60 at expiration, you would keep the premium as your profit. Brokers generally require a 20% margin deposit when selling a put, which can be thought of as a down payment on the possible purchase price. In this example, the margin would be $1,200 (20% of $6,000), making the return on investment 5% if the option is not exercised.

Selling options is a great income strategy to increase your gains and allow you to buy stocks on price dips.
