Put options can be used for many purposes, one of which is to lock in profits on a stock that has advanced rather quickly. Sometimes it is difficult to know whether to sell a stock that has had a quick run up of 20-30%. Will it continue to rise? Should I take the profits now? What if it keeps going? What if it starts to decline? How long should I watch it? Will I regret selling? Will I regret not selling? Save yourself from all this mental anguish by purchasing a put option and locking in your profits!

After a stock has had a wonderful run, it is natural to suspect that there might be a period of consolidation. You would like to lock in your profits but also allow the stock to keep following its current trend if that is what is going to happen. You can accomplish both by purchasing a put option. Simply select a put option that will guarantee that you will receive a profit. You will probably want to select a put option that expires in 2-3 months giving the stock an opportunity to consolidate and then begin its rise or to decide that it is done and decline again. To purchase such a put option will likely cost about 10% of the current stock price meaning that your 30% gain would be locked in at about 20%. A 20% gain is nothing to be ashamed of.

You might’ve been wondering what is the difference between Investing and Trading, or you might’ve been asking yourself: “Am I an Investor or a Trader?”, or you might’ve never even realized that there is a difference in the first place. In this article I will explain the difference between Investing and Trading.

The definition in it’s most basic form is:

“Investing is the attempt to make money over a LONG period of time”

“Trading is the attempt to make money over a SHORT period of time”

Now the question is: “How long is a LONG period of time, and how short is a SHORT period of time?” The answer is: “It’s up to you!”

What does this mean? It means that you might consider 6 months to be a long period to hold on to one stock, so you’ll call it Investing, and someone else might consider 6 months a very short period of time and they’ll call it Trading. Continue reading ‘Investing Vs Trading’ »

I have only been buying and trading stocks for a month come September the fourth. I write this up on Sept. 1. Today was a very bad day for all my stocks with many taking a major hit. I do not pretend to know much about what I am doing but I have made a few hundred dollars my first month and I think I have learned a little. Since I am writing for those like me who have little to no idea what they are doing in investing in and buying and selling stocks, people who may only be a few days behind me in their stock trading career, I am going to be bold enough to pass along what I think I have learned to date. When the market is bad as it is now one needs to be attentive to the points I am making.

(1) Don’t get greedy. If you have made a little money on a stock sell it. Yes, you may leave a nice sum of money you could have had had you kept the stock and it continued its upward rise but the old saying that a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush has merit and will not serve you wrong in the long run. Greed leads to gambling and no gambler is going to win in the long run. There is no one living who can tell you how high a stock will go or when. If it is up enough to make a little money sell it and put the money in your account. Continue reading ‘Beginning Online Stock Trading – Surviving a Bad Market’ »
