Internet Marketing Your Home-Based Business
This is an article outlining two of the most basic steps to getting started marketing a business online, plus the importance of doing so.
Options Trading and the “Up” Scenario
In the “up” scenario, the maximum gain that can be attained is the stock finishing at $10.00 or higher. At $10.00, you would profit from the full value of the extrinsic value of the option which is $.50 and you would also have $.50 of capital appreciation from the stock for a total of $1.00. This represents a 10.52% one-month return or an annualized return of 126.32%.
"Stagnant" & "Down" Options Trading Scenarios
When we apply the covered call strategy to the stagnant stock scenario, we take a negative return scenario and turn it into a positive scenario. Remember, when we sell an option, we receive a premium for doing so. When the stock does not move during the option’s life, the extrinsic value of the option goes to zero. The amount of money paid for the option goes to the seller. We’ll take a look at how this sets up.
Trading Options Strategies
Webster’s Dictionary defines the term strategy as “ 1 a) the science of planning and directing larger scale military operations, specifically (as distinguished from TACTICS) of maneuvering forces into the most advantageous position prior to actual engagement with the enemy b) a plan or action based on this. 2 a) skill in managing or planning, especially by using stratagems b) a stratagem or artful means to some end.
Difference between In-the-money (ITM), out-of-the-money (OTM), or at-the-money (ATM).
An option can be described by its strike price’s proximity to the stock’s price. An option can either be in-the-money (ITM), out-of-the-money (OTM), or at-the-money (ATM). An at-the-money option is described as an option whose exercise or strike price is approximately equal to the present price of the underlying stock.
Two kinds of Options are Calls and Puts
A call option gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy a specific security at a specific price by a specific date. It’s a way of “locking in” the purchase price of the stock for a period of time. A put option gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to sell a specific security at a specific price by a specific date. It’s a way of “locking in” the sales price of a stock for a period of time.
Importance of Education to the Investor
How many of you out there think that the market is performing well? How many think the market is performing poorly? And how many feel the markets performance is neutral? Actually none of these answers is correct. You see, the market does not perform, you do. You perform! Sometimes you perform well, and other times you do not perform so well. The market doesn’t perform, it moves. It moves up, it moves down and it moves sideways.
