如何選擇合適的期權,有什麼秘笈?
Today, we’ll continue discussing options strategies suitable for most investors:
(1) Applicable to the majority of investors:
Options Strategy: Covered Call Strategy
(Covered Call Strategy) How to skillfully use options to hedge risk and enhance returns when holding U.S. equities
1. Target Audience: Investors who don’t have time to monitor the market regularly, or who are unsure whether to hold or sell their U.S. equities, among others.
2. Exclusive Strategy from the Options Trading Bootcamp: The covered call strategy, featuring a holiday-adapted risk mitigation mechanism combined with an income-enhancement rationale.
3. Core Logic of Covered Call Writing: A detailed guide to establishing a covered call (Covered Call) position on U.S. equities—while holding the underlying stock, sell out-of-the-money or at-the-money call options on the same underlying asset to collect option premiums. This strategy is suitable when expecting the underlying stock to trade sideways or experience minor fluctuations in the short term. Note: You must already hold sufficient shares of the underlying stock (one U.S. equity call option contract corresponds to 100 shares of the underlying stock).
Next, we’ll address some common issues investors encounter in options trading:
1. Core investor pain point: After holding profitable positions, investors face the dilemma of 'fearing a pullback and not daring to hold, yet reluctant to sell for fear of missing further gains'
(1) Remain bullish on market outlook: buy calls to safely add leverage
Stock account is in profit
(2) Lock in profits by selling shares and buy calls

2. Core investor pain point: After being stuck in losing positions, investors face the dilemma of 'holding on and fearing deeper losses, or cutting losses and fearing a rebound'
(1) Still optimistic about future market performance: sell a small portion of shares and buy calls
Stock account is at a loss
(2) Cut losses and switch positions by selling stocks, then buy calls or puts.

3. Core investor pain point: When holding no positions, investors face the dilemma of 'buying risks a drop, not buying risks missing out'—when the stock account is empty.
(1) Bullish on the market outlook: Buy calls to leverage small capital for potentially large gains.
(2) Bearish on the market outlook: Buy puts to leverage small capital for potentially large gains.
(3) At an inflection point: Buy both calls and puts simultaneously.

Finally, a word of advice to all investors (especially beginners): never over-leverage! Never over-leverage! Never over-leverage!
Important things must be said three times!
