Stock trading is a great way to generate an income if you choose not to outlay the capital required to buy shares. Stock options can generate a boundless income for you and your family. Stock options eliminate the need to risk your capital in your quest to generate a healthy ongoing income for you to enjoy.
What does a put option mean?
A put option is an agreement that gives an investor the right, but not necessarily the obligation to buy a stock, bond, commodity or other instrument at a specified price within a specified time frame.
If you expect the share price to go up then you have bullish view on that stock and a call option gives you the right to buy the shares. As the stock price rises so does the value of your option contract.
Short term trading is a highly efficient income generator using both put and call options.
For example:
A share is trading on the Australian market in July for $10, you could buy a $12 October put option to buy 1000 shares. Prior to expiry (before October) of the contract we could decide to execute the contract and buy the shares at $12 each. This allows 3 months in which the shares can increase in value and generate us some income.
So the figures would look like this:
- MARKET VALUE: ($15 x 1000 shares= $15,000)
- OPTION CONTRACT PRICE: ($12 x 1000 = $12,000)
- COST OF CONTRACT: (about 3% of share price - so about $450 in this case)
- PROFIT: ($2,550)
- (minus brokerage fees, which are variable )
Keep in mind when trading options your cost is able to be less than the actual trading of stock, which can require large sums of capital input, so selling our option to someone else can be put into practice once the strike price is reached/exceeded. This process allows us to make a tidy profit with the only outlay being the amount we pay for the actual option contract. One of the benefits of buying options is that the maximum possible loss is the amount paid for the option contract. Following a consistent strategy and having a sound understanding of the processes and forces at play is central to minimizing even this minor possible loss. The key to achieving this is to financially educate yourself, and learn all you can about the options available to you on the stock market.
