The Power of Stock Options

The Power of Stock Options

In order to generate consistent income in the most efficient way possible, I use stock options. Options lose value over time therefore,  it is best to sell them because the mantra is sell high and buy low. If you were to buy options you would lose value everyday unless the stock makes a large move.

In chart below you is an example of time decay of an option. As you can see the option price is losing value every day. However, that isn’t to say that you can’t make money buying options, it just takes a bit more skill.

Stock Options

       Give the investor the ability to buy/sell a stock at a predetermined price.
       High leverage products.
       Enhance returns.
       Limited loss/limited gain and/or limited loss/unlimited gain.
       Based off of statistical measures.

Components of a stock option

       Price of underlying
       Volatility
       Time Decay
       Intrinsic Value

Go for rich,
