Hi everyone,

We had a great session on 10 February – where we went over the theory and practice of doing a covered call.  For those of you who have not seen the covered call strategy of the week yet – check out the strategy of the week on 5 February 2016 in VectorVest University (you can access this by clicking on training and then scrolling down to VectorVest University withing the VectorVest 7 platform).

The Q&A session went over the theory discussed in the Strategy of the Week on 5 February – and then I applied the theory to both Australian and USA stocks.  The key items covered in this recording:

  • The use of Options Analyser along with UniSearch to identify covered calls
  • The selection of stock criteria to select large market cap companies
  • How to find the best paying options premiums
  • The discussion of naked puts (don’t let the name scare you – you get paid to wait for an optionable stock of your choosing at a price you are comfortable buying it at!)
  • How to turn a covered call into a collar (using the juicy premium that you identified on the call to pay for the put to provide downside risk).   Keep a lookout for the strategy of the week coming up – the collar option will be discussed.

In addition, in the webcast I noted the recent introductory options webinar I ran the other day – where I invited those who are interested to attend further detailed training (which entails a cost).  I’ll post the details in my next blog post.

My final note is – don’t be afraid of options!  Understand them and apply them in a structured and smart way to enhance your investing.  As with myself – having only recently mastered the basics of options – my only regret is that I did not know about them sooner.  I was always put off by the typical responses of “they are risky” and “too dangerous”.  In the basics options course – we will show you why such  statements are not true if you use them as we teach.
