Options Trading Strategies for Managing RiskOne of the tools in my investment management toolbox is Options, specifically Covered Call Options and Naked Put Options. I'm reaching out to a number of my clients to recommend that we set up Options. These two Options Strategies work best in volatile markets like what we've had in 2022. Options provide better risk management while allowing us to create an additional income stream within your IRA Account.Margin and Options

This post is specifially for Tax Qualified accounts. We can use additional strategies in Non-Tax Qualified accounts with Margin. Each strategy has its own set of Risk Metrics. In this post, I've grabbed some helpful content from Investopedia, my favorite source for Investor Education.

What are Options from Investopedia

Options are a form of derivative contract that gives buyers of the contracts (the option holders) the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell a security at a chosen price at some point in the future. Option buyers are charged an amount called a premium by the sellers for such a right. Should market prices be unfavorable for option holders, they will let the option expire worthless and not exercise this right, ensuring that potential losses are not higher than the premium. On the other hand, if the market moves in the direction that makes this right more valuable, it makes use of it.

Options are generally divided into "call" and "put" contracts. With a call option, the buyer of the contract purchases the right to buy the underlying asset in the future at a predetermined price, called exercise price or strike price. With a put option, the buyer acquires the right to sell the underlying asset in the future at the predetermined price.
