Learn how to generate income from ASML shares - even with just 10 - using MINI-options

A new way for long-term investors to put their shares to work

A challenge for ASML investors — now solved

ASML is one of Europe’s most successful tech companies. Many long-term investors hold the stock as part of a buy-and-hold strategy, believing in its future role in the semiconductor industry.

But at over €660 per share, buying 100 shares — the minimum needed for a traditional options strategy — would cost over €66,000. Until recently, that meant selling covered calls was out of reach for many smaller investors.

That has changed.

Mini-options: smaller contracts, same strategy

Mini-options are a new type of option contract that represents just 10 shares instead of 100. This makes conservative option strategies, like covered calls, finally accessible to smaller shareholders.

What is a covered call? It’s when you sell a call option on a stock you already own. If the stock price stays below the option’s strike price, you keep your shares and receive the option premium as income. If the stock rises above the strike, your shares may be sold at that level — but you still keep the premium.

Let’s walk through a practical example.
