Sit back and relax with a big smile on your face because now is the time to buy. In other words do the opposite of everyone around you i.e. buy while others are fearful!

There is absolutely no point attempting to pick the bottom of the XJO / ALL ordinaries is it 3500 points or the major support at 3200 points who knows and all you need to know is who really cares. All you really need to know is that now good value buying can be seen and provided you protect your investments with put option contracts you will be protected from the downside.

 Here’s an example:

• Buy 100 Shares of XYZ @ $19.00

• Buy 1 PUT option with a 12 month expiry approximate costs $2.50 x 100 = $250 (1 put will protect 100 shares)

You will now receive the dividend payments and regardless be able to sell your stock for what you paid for it. This is similar to buying insurance on your depreciating car.

Anyhow going on the current market volatility you are witnessing some very good buying opportunities. For peace of mind buy PUT options to protect your share investments.

Another tip – if you have stocks in your portfolio that you are unable to buy options over then I suggest buying indexed options. If you want to know more about indexed options then send me an email and I will do a video on where, how, what and everything else in between to help you.

Oh and before I go this may be a crazy idea or a good idea send me an email if you would like me to setup a date and time for a Q&A session more than happy to help you.

The Double Dip Recession / Stock Market Crash 2011 Part 2 is a post from: Manly Global

It was ironic that late last year many fund managers and investment banks were marketing several protected investments to clients saying the worst is over the market will recover.  However it is now August 2011 and after several banks such Deutsch, RBS and Macquarie saying that the ASX will reach 5500 points again by July 2011 it is obvious they were being very optimistic.

My suggestion for the options trading expert is to take your positions carefully.  Look at Fibonacci retracement levels and Elliott wave and be disciplined.  Plenty of money to be made at the moment but be patient.

Currently I have been working closely with one of the institutional banks to implement a product that will assist wholesale investors.  (note: Wholesale ionvestors are lead by dealer groups)  The product is classed as a structrured product and involves gearing.  Now that many stocks will reach lower values it may present the perfect oppotunity to do as Warren Buffett doea – “Be Greedy while others are fearful” and gearing of any form, regular or loans may be ideal for the investor looking for good value opportunities.

 On a personal note have been reading a great book of late by Tim Ferris called the 4 hour Work Week.  This book has changed my life and definitely made life easier.  A couple of chapters in he goes in to detail on how to outsource your life – “What The?” yep outsource your life.  It is now 3 weeks since I’ve outsourced my life and am currently training my dedicated assistant from asksunday.com to search for my trades.  What?  I hear you say… Yep have set her up with trading software and teaching her what to look for when she finds something I receive a text message.  Currently testing this will keep you posted as to the results.  Oh and today made a cool $9000 profit on RIO options contract purchased last week.
