Selling naked options on an exchange-traded fund (ETF) has an advantage over selling an individual stock option. In terms of their vulnerability to market surprises, ETFs are usually safer than individual stocks. The liquidity requirement eliminates most of the ETFs with an average daily volume less than a few thousand shares. You can compare several ETFs based on quantitative analysis to find those that have the most potential profit per month while still minimizing risk. Usually, when considering a derivative strategy, the best measure of an underlying's effectiveness is the derivative itself. However, this simple analysis does not factor in the volatility and the risk. Beta is a measurement of an investment's volatility, or risk, as compared to the S&P 500. While beta is one meas...

Ask Osama bin Laden . . . whether I engage in appeasement. * Barack Obama, Dec. 8, 2011 WASHINGTON Fair enough. Barack Obama didnt appease Osama bin Laden. He killed him. And for ordering the raid and taking the risk, Obama deserves credit. Credit for decisiveness and political courage. However, the bin Laden case was no test of policy. No serious person ever suggested negotiation or concession. Obama demonstrated decisiveness, but forgoing a non-option says nothing about the soundness of foreign policy. That comes into play when there are choices to be made. And here the story is different. Take Obamas two major foreign-policy initiatives toward Russia and Iran. The administration came into office determined to warm relations with Russia. It was called reset, an antidote to the dange...

One of the first concerns that arise when trading options for income on a futures portfolio is how to manage the risk. Many strategies are available, and most of those involve spread strategies. However, there are benefits to selling naked options -- that is, not off-setting them by creating spreads -- and traders need to be aware of risk-mitigating techniques that specifically benefit naked positions. There are many reasons to forego more conservative spreads in favor of naked positions. For one, if a trader is correct in his market analysis and the market moves in his favor, you profit more quickly from a naked position than a credit spread. Second, to collect the same premium, a trader willing to sell naked can sell a strike further out-of-the-money than a spread trader covering his ...

New equity index and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to be introduced. The main difference between an index and an ETF is that indexes are cash-settled and ETFs are underlying-unit settled. There are ETFs based on indexes. When faced with similar trading vehicles in the equity and futures markets, traders need to consider the differences between the options. A key difference will be the margin that must be deposited to trade each product. To sell naked puts, the brokerage firm requires a deposit called "option margin." This is different than stock margin. The option margin is set aside and earns interest; it is not borrowed money like stock margin. For selling options, the lower futures margin requirement offers a big advantage versus equity-based options on similar underlying pro...

In bringing together such a large selection of works by women from across the globe, we hope that current and future viewers will make different connections than we did. [...] despite the fact that our version of the exhibition was organized into four sections, we encourage subsequent venues, viewers, and scholars to emphasize other relationships among the works and to create different associations and connections, of which there are an infinitude.

Option selling strategies in the form of credit spreads or naked positions can be very profitable. Effective risk management for the option seller can be realized by knowing the product's risk, knowing the worst case loss, knowing the possible return on investment and backtesting the strategy through time. One form of risk management for selling options is the exit strategy. Although knowing the risk and worst case loss for an investment is important, knowing the return or potential return of an investment is of equal importance. Although selling options can be very lucrative, the risks associated with this method of investment need to be understood and managed. The volatility of the underlying security is of prime importance, dictating the overall risk associated with the option. And f...
