    Conservative position, using itm puts to hedge

    Conservative position, using itm puts to hedge

    Yes I see I typed SPY, but I took the data from QQQ :) Changed it.

    Conservative position, using itm puts to hedge

    I might be missing something here, in fact I'm pretty sure I am, so if you can shoot some holes in this, please do! What if someone wants to protect his capital and just get a moderate return on it (and no, bonds are no option here, europe). Would it be an option to just go long QQQ for...

    Timevalue of DITM puts

    Hmm, that still does not explain why SPY options, even up to dec 31, do have the DITM puts at 0 timevalue, so what would the reason be then?

    Right, that makes sense I guess, dividends baked into them :thumbsup:

    Timevalue of DITM puts

    I'm trying to understand why there is a certain amount of timevalue left in these DITM put options (16 days left till expiration) for the Dutch AEX index (EOE) and not for puts for the S&P500 index. (see image). What would cause these options to never have no, or almost no timevalue left when...

    Naked puts with some downside protection

    That might very well be, as nothing has been thought out very well and/or backtested. I would not try to hedge 100% though, just some long puts to dampen the volatility a bit. So it would pretty much look like naked puts with a bit less volatility, and lower returns.

    Naked puts with some downside protection

    Just a random idea that probably everybody has had at some point, so it's probably not rocket science :) Selling puts on individual stocks from a certain index (atm or slightly otm). Then taking lets say, 10-30% of those returns to buy long puts on that same index. Looks good in theory, am i...

    How viable is this, and is anyone using this method.

    I guess since nobody is replying, it could possibly be viable :D

    How viable is this, and is anyone using this method.

    For slightly longer term swingtrading, several days up to a month maybe, how viable would it be to do this: While attempting to catch a big swing, go long the shares, use 1 long atm put instead of a stoploss (yes i know this is the same as a long call, but hold on..), incase it goes against...
