Using Options To Buy Stocks At Wholesale Price

September 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Owning shares is a dream most people have shared at some time or other. But many people also fear the perceived risk in doing so and for this reason, hesitate. But did you know that if you understand something about options and you’re thinking of owning shares, there is a way you can use them to purchase your shares at a much cheaper price than if you just went to your broker and bought them?

Let’s take an example to illustrate how it works. We’ll use the oft quoted imaginary XYZ company for our purpose. Imagine XYZ is currently trading on your local stock exchange at and you think it might be a good investment if it falls another or so. You may have concluded this because you have looked at a daily price chart of the stock and notice a pattern such as a “channel” (highs and lows between two parallel lines) which leads you to believe that it won’t be long before the price will come back to say in the near future.

Or you might be a short term stock trader and you’ve observed this stock’s price starting to fall in such a way that is consistent with past movements of a similar size. So you believe it is likely to reach a low of sometime within the next month or so for that reason and you want to buy it when it does because that’s when you think it will turn around and head north again.

Or you just be an investor who wants to buy stocks to hold for the long term and would like to get a better deal on purchase price. If you had the nerve to take opportunity of falling stocks during the global financial crisis and wanted to snap up a bargain, this option strategy would make the deal even sweeter.

Here’s what you can do.

XYZ is trading at today and you’re prepared to buy it when it reaches . You would need sufficient funds in your broker account to purchase at the price tag to utilise this strategy. When the stock is trading at or less, you would sell “out of the money” put options with an expiry date the following month and a strike price of . Selling option contracts is sometimes called “writing” and the process involves creating them out of nothing. This option contract with a strike price means that you are willing to allow the market to “put” shares to you at that price up until the agreed option expiry date.

In consideration for this, you would receive a premium which would be credited to your account. The premium is yours to keep, no matter what happens after that. Let’s say your receive for each share, which means that if your option contract covers 100 shares, you would receive 0.

After you’ve done this, one of two things can happen.

First, the share price could fall to or below by the option expiry date, the options would be exercised and you would buy the shares at that price. The 100 shares of XYZ would cost you 00 less the 0 you receive for selling the options, a total of 00.

The alternative is, that the share price never reaches this level, in which case you simply keep the 0 you received from selling the options. Then you just go to the stock market and do it again.

But let’s say that XYZ’s stock price had fallen to by the time your put option contract expired. You would have to purchase at but the whole deal would still only cost you 00 all up. If you had waited instead to buy at , it would’ve cost you an extra 0 so you’re still ahead.

At this point, if you still have more funds available, you could use an averaging strategy to buy more XYZ shares, but this time for say . Let’s say the price has fallen to as above and you have purchased your 100 shares at but an overall cost of only . You now immediately sell a further put option contract with next month’s expiry date but this time with a strike price of only receiving a premium of .50.

If XYZ’s share price doesn’t fall as low as by the new expiry date, you keep the premium and it offsets the cost of your original 100 shares – which instead of have now cost you only .50 each. But let’s say the price fell as low as by the new expiry date. You would be forced to buy the shares at less your .50 premium for selling the options – a total cost of .50 per share.

You now own 100 shares costing and a further 100 shares costing .50. That’s 200 XYZ shares at a total cost of 50 or .25 per share. If you had purchased these shares without using options, just “averaging down” they would’ve cost you 00 all up, or per share when in our worst case scenario here, the price has fallen to .

So even when the market is taking a dive as outlined above, where the stock price has fallen over two months from to only – if you had sold put options as part of your strategy, you would be better off by 200 x .75 or 0. This is a 10 percent discount after brokerage costs.

Now that the price has fallen to you simply do it again for next month and receive another premium which will offset the overall cost of your two previous purchases if the price begins to rise again. Eventually, you will own shares in your chosen company at a discounted price which in the long run will mean greater capital gains.

12 Methods To Improve Website Return On Investment (Roi) Using Seo And Other Strategies

May 19, 2011 By 1 Comment

Return On Investment (ROI) is the relationship between the total amount you spend and the total amount you earn from a certain internet marketing campaign.

If you are doing any online marketing campaign, then Return On Investment (ROI) is the most important measurement to estimate your success and the one metric that you must work hard on to improve over time.

Generally speaking, Return On Investment (ROI) is a performance measurement used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment and to compare the efficiency of one investment to the other or over a certain period of time.

Return on investment is a very popular metric due to its versatility and simplicity. That is, if an investment does not have a reasonable positive ROI, or if there are other opportunities with a higher ROI, then this investment should not be done.  Return On Investment (ROI) is the final measurement of success for any advertising campaign.

How To Calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) ?

Return On Investment (ROI) for any advertising campaign is very simple to calculate. There are only two variations in the calculation formula:

1 – Total cost of advertising campaign including all expenses related to this specific campaign

2 – Net Profit of this specific advertising campaign.

The Net Profit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.

Why should you constantly monitor your Return On Investment (ROI) ?

Constant monitoring of your Return On Investment (ROI) either daily, weekly or both will guarantee 5 vital goals

1.    To ensure that you are not losing money on any advertising  campaign on a daily or weekly basis.

2.    To detect any sudden decrease in the performance of any campaign and to take necessary actions to put it back on track.

3.    To detect any sudden improvement in the performance of any campaign and to take necessary steps to exploit the situation for your advantage.

4.    To assess the effect of changing different elements of the campaign to keep the best elements as in split testing and other testing methods.

5.    To detect if the campaign is achieving its goals or falling short.

How To Increase Your Return On Investment?

The two most important factors to improve your Return On Investment (ROI) are:

1 – Professional Search Engine Optimization.
2 – Website Conversion Rate Optimization.

First:    Website Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization is one of the best internet marketing strategies to improve your Return On Investment. SEO if done properly will bring your pages to the 1st pages of Google, Yahoo, Bing and other major search engines. This will simply give you much more exposure for a long period of time.

Once the initial cost of Search Engine Optimization is paid, you do not need to pay much money to keep your publicity or exposure on the internet.

Other traditional online and off line advertisements require continuous payment to keep your ads running. These payments accumulate to a huge amount of money over time that will far exceed the total cost of Search Engine Optimization.

Proper Search Engine Optimization can be in the form of a combination of any number of the following factors:

1.    Meticulous keyword research, analysis and selection to find and use the most profitable keywords for your business.
2.    SEO copywriting your main website pages and your landing pages to make them more Search Engine Friendly and more easily found by search engines.
3.    Link building to improve your link popularity and to achieve a top search engine placement.
