How Market Volatility Creates Better Options Selling Opportunities

During their recent episode of the Value Options Letter and Acquirers Podcast, Travis and Carlisle discussed How Market Volatility Creates Better Options Selling Opportunities. Here’s an excerpt from the episode:

And one of the things, Toby, that I think is dynamic about the value options letter is because it’s an active process, there’s days when it looks like the Iran war is over and oil prices drop. And so that creates volatility in oil stocks. So there’s several oil names that we’ve sold puts on at really attractive rates of return.

And we’re doing it when the volatility peaks on that. Other days you’ll get software’s dead headlines and you’ll get a golden opportunity to sell puts on some of these real high quality software stocks. And you could even lump Microsoft in there, that’s on the site.

So being able to take advantage of volatility, but not necessarily have to buy the stock at the current price, but you might be 15, 20% below the actual market price.
