Hedging Stock Investments Using Low-Risk Options Strategies - Stock Option Collar
Please note that this example is for educational purposes and uses a historical trade from April 2007 Another strategy utilized by investors is the Stock Collar. This strategy involves owning or purchasing 100 shares of a particular stock, buying a put option and selling a call option. An investor sells a call option to finance the ?insurance? put option.

Hedging Stock Investments Using Low-Risk Options Strategies - Covered Call
Please note that this example is for educational purposes and uses a historical trade from March 2007 The most popular options strategy among all investors today is Covered Call Writing.

Volatile Turkish Lira Position? Hedge it with the Hungarian Forint
Almost daily, I receive emails asking how a trader can profit from the Turkish Lira, many of whom are drawn to the high interest rate feature of the currency. It is easy to forget about the huge volatile moves that has plagued the currency since its re-release. To look for a safe hedge currency, I examined the available currencies of surrounding countries with economies that in the same development phase. The logical choice would have been a bordering country, but since there are few choices ...

The portfolio, as of Saturday, January 5, 2008, has a Net Asset Value of $143,364.22, which represents a 43.36% gain over the initial $100,000 balance.

Playing the Rate Cut Conundrum
With all the fear that exists in the markets today, it seems all the world is waiting on what Mr. Bernanke decides to do with the Fed Fund Rates on Tuesday. Here are the possible outcomes:  1) No rate cut 2) 25 bps rate cut 3) 50 bps rate cut After running each scenario through my mind a few times, I looked at what each potentially signifies to the market, and concluded that none of the above have ideal outcomes. If the explanation for a rate cut is saving the housing market?think again; 25 or ...

Hedge Volatile Energy Stocks in Your Portfolio Against Commodity Movements
For any investor who holds oil and natural gas stocks in their portfolio, the movement of those stocks is typically tied to the underlying commodity, not to the broader markets. Investing in energy stocks does not come without sharp volatility that may keep small investors on their toes and awake at night, but with the introduction of new Exchange Traded Fund products, investors now have a way to keep the overall movement to a minimum. The idea behind the strategy is that an investor has a long...

The Death of the Yen Carry Trade? Think Again!
?When there is blood in the streets, it?s time to buy.?

Fear and risk grip the global marketplace in a way that hasn?t been seen since 2003.

Calling All Investors: Fire Sale Prices on Your Favorite Quality Stocks
My biggest pet peeve is the parrots on CNBC reciting news that the market has already digested. It seems as though they exist for instilling fear in investors to get ratings, and with any market shock, they sure definitely get an increase of viewers to scare. When Joe Investor goes home to check his IRA and notices a 7.5% drop in two weeks, of course he wants to find out why.
