How Put Options Can Build Wealth

By Dale Poyser


The stock niche is actually only one of the many popularly accepted procedures to make money.

Within the commodity marketplace one very very nice process to establish capital is options trading. I generate 15 t0 20% every single month by trading options, more notably put options.

Currently there are typically 2 points to put options investment.

There is the actual facet relating to protective cover on ones balance also known as getting insurance for your stock, and then there is the wealth building, monthly cash flow side aka getting paid to own a stock. Why don't we have a quick peek at both of those.

Buying Insurance with Put Options

As the owner of this put options contract, there is an "option" to be able to offer the stock which has a certain price until you sell the particular option or perhaps the particular option expires.

Almost all investors make use of puts to protect their accounts from big movements to the downside and additionally lock in profits.

For example, let's imagine a trader bought a stock and it increased in price by about $10 per share. This will be a really big move.

Now the question you might be asking is...should you take profits or let it ride? In addition, you need to take into account that should you choose nothing, your earnings could be destroyed in minutes with some not so great. Taking absolutely no action is probably the most detrimental actions to take within the stock market.

What do you do in that situation?

You can acquire a put option with a strike price which is a number of prices below the current price of the stock. Using this method, it is possible to sell your stock at this strike price regardless of what happens to the price of the actual stock. For instance, if you purchased the stock at $200 and it increased to $250, you may buy the put at $240. With the $240 put option, regardless of how low the stock goes, you can still sell it at $240! So, if the stock drops to $30 per share, you can STILL sell it at $240, think about that for a second...let it sink in.

Making Monthly Passive Income with Put options

On the other side of this put options coin is the way you possibly can create wealth by using options through passive income each and every month.

In order that the stock buyer to shield his stocks by purchasing protective puts, he will need to have someone ready to sell those put options to him.

I personally make money on a monthly basis by simply selling put options against stocks I'd be ready to own and occasionally against stocks that I never plan to own.

The key to successfully building wealth with put option selling is usually to sell puts for securities you would not mind getting and also consider stocks which are relatively flat as far as their price goes. Flat stocks are generally stocks that move not more than $3 within a four week period and possess small PE ratios.

I find that I also have a great deal of success by stock trading in the $20 - $30 price range. Anything higher or cheaper is commonly too risky in my opinion.
