Stock Market Investing Strategies For Beginners

Do you want to learn how to invest in the stock market?

In this podcast, you’ll learn about 3 different stock market investing strategies that can help you make more informed decisions when it comes time to buy or sell stocks.

There are many ways to invest in the stock market but not all of them are good for beginners. In this video, I'll show you investing strategies that are easy enough for anyone - even if you have no experience at all! 

The Covered Call Strategy is one of the first strategies that new traders start trading. Traders might use a Covered Calls on stocks that they have in their portfolio for longer periods of time. 

For the specific example that we’re going to cover today, we’ll take a look at JP Morgan (JPM).  If you were holding JPM stock in your portfolio before the pandemic, chances are that you are underwater.

For the purpose of full transparency, I do not own or hold any JPM stocks. I typically only hold stocks between 5 and 25 days.

We've talked about How To Trade A Vertical Spread, Call Debit Spreads, Put Debit Spreads and Put Credit Spreads. 

What I like about Debit Spreads is the reduced cost and they reduce the "break even."

For this example, I'm using tastyworks.

I use the PowerX Optimizer to find the best stocks to trade.

When trading there are 3 things you need to know:

1) What to trade

2) When to enter

3) When to exit

TGTX:

- Enter at 20.43

- Expecting stock to go as high as 25.37 (profit target)

- Stop-loss set at 18.61

The PowerX Optimizer told me: 

-Trade the 20 call w/ an expiration of 8/21.

- Spend no more than 2.10 when buying this option.

- Max Risk = $210 (you can't lose more than you pay for the call)

- Max Reward = Unlimited

- Breakeven = $22.41

Here's what I did:

- I sold the 25 call for 0.50

- My cost is now 2.10 - 0.50 = $1.60 ($160)

- Max Risk = $160

- Limited if the Stock reaches $25 or above.

- Breakeven = $21.60

- Reward Cap = if stock reaches $25 or above.

So by trading a spread here, we reduced our cost and breakeven.
