Considering the original author wanted to "sell" the stock anyway I don't think he consider this as a risk.

That is not how I understood the question.

The title says:

Quote:Would you "sell" your stocks upside for more yield?

He clearly intends to "sell" it.

He clearly states that he wants to know 1) if there is a platform where one can sell rights to price appreciation in exchange for more yield, and 2) if anyone would use it if it existed. Selling rights to price appreciation is not the same as selling ownership.

Nobody has answered his questions.

What he is looking for is like a CD with higher than market yield, and possibly growing yield (my inference).

I would consider it if the yield were high enough and my principal were insured. If there is such a platform, I do not know of it.
