After surviving a near-bankruptcy experience in 2015-16, many investors didn’t expect Chesapeake Energy to file Chapter 11 as it just recently announced. And it’s not Chesapeake shares that we are interested in, but rather the shares of a midstream provider that derives 6% of its revenues from Chesapeake. Volatility has spiked, and fear has already caused the shares to sell off a little farther than they should have, in our view. As a result, this attractive high-income options trade opportunity has emerged. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today and potentially over the next few days, as long as the underlying stock price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

New Options Trade: 2nd Wave Fear, Creates High Upfront Income Opportunity

New Options Trade: Upfront Income, Frothy "Forever Stock"
There are certain blue chip stocks that are basic staples in many investors’ portfolios. These are often safe dividend payers that can be trusted to earn income (and pay dividends) throughout the market’s ups and downs. However, from time-to-time, these stocks can get a bit frothy, and the near-term upside can seem limited. This is our view on the stock covered in this report, and we are sharing an options trade that generates upfront income and adds discipline to your sell decisions. We current own these shares, and we believe this is an attractive trade to place today (and potentially over the next few trading days) as long as the price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

New Options Trade: High Upfront Income from International Trade Uncertainty

We acknowledge that risk is on the table, but no one can predict short-term market moves (if they tell you they can—just know they cannot). However, if you like generating big upfront income, that also gives you a chance to own an attractive big-dividend business at an even lower price, then you may want to consider this trade. We believe the trade highlighted in this article is an attractive one to place today, and potentially over the next few days, so long as the underlying stock price doesn’t move dramatically before then.

In the Face of Panic: Selling Income-Generating Put Options, Phillips 66 Edition
Trying to call a bottom to the current energy and coronavirus-driven market sell off is a fool’s errand. No body knows. It could end soon or it could be long and drawn out. However, it’s okay to be a bit opportunistic during the current market sell off, so long as it is consistent with your long-term investment goals (e.g. “be greedy when others are fearful,” and “buy when there is blood in the streets.”). One such opportunistic strategy that’s become particularly attractive now, is selling out-of-the-money income-generating put options on stocks you’d like to own for the long-term. This article shares one such example, Phillips 66 (PSX).
New Options Trade:High Upfront Income, Oversold Large Cap Integrated Energy
This large cap energy stock has been hit from all angles, ranging from low oil prices, to fossil fuel campaign divestment selling pressures, and now a threat of decreased short-term demand from coronavirus impacts. However, it still generates a ton of cash flow, it has a lower break even cost than many peers, and long-term demand simply is not going away (much to the chagrin of many ESG investors). What we’re left with is a big safe dividends, and very high upfront income in the options market courtesy of the recent bout of heightened fear and volatility. We believe the trade highlighted in this article is an attractive one to place today, and into early next week, so long as the underlying stock price doesn’t move dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: Battleground Retail REIT, Attractive Upfront Income
There’s usually at least some truth to every fear mongering media narrative, and the talking heads and short sellers have not been kind to retail REITs, as growing e-commerce continues to dramatically change the industry landscape. Yesterday we received news confirming that Simon Property Group (SPG) intends to acquire its smaller “A-Class” property REIT peer Taubman Centers (TCO), and shares of TCO shot up dramatically. There remains heightened uncertainty and volatility in this space, and it is making for an interesting, high-upfront-premium, income-generating options trade opportunity. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today, and potentially tomorrow as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income, Cyclical LNG Shipping Industry
Shares of this LNG shipping company have gotten crushed in recent weeks due to cyclicality of the business, uncertainty about new International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) Environmental Regulations, and an analyst warning about the risk of a distribution reduction. However, there are reasons to believe the market has dramatically overreacted and the dividend will still be very large and attractive (even after any speculated reduction). Rather than buying the shares outright, the premium income available in the options market is enormous and attractive.
New Options Trade: Big Upfront Income, Big-Dividend Blue Chip, Shortsighted Fear
People are afraid of what they don’t know, and even though this company is a well-proven large-cap blue chip, investors are unsure of it because it recently separated into a standalone company from another large cap blue chip. And because of this uncertainty, combined with near-term pricing pressures, investors are afraid. And we like that because it’s creating an attractive income opportunity in a big-dividend blue chip company with lots of cash that it is using to support the dividend, buyback shares and support the ongoing long-term success of the business. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today, and potentially over the next few trading days as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: Fear-Driven High-Income Opportunity, Big-Dividend REIT, Debunk the WSJ
The market has had a love-hate relationship with this big-dividend REIT in 2019, and recently hate has taken the lead, as the shares have sold off. And yet another negative headline this weekend from the WSJ is adding to uncertainty and volatility, thereby making this attractive income-generating options trade even more compelling, in our view. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today, and potentially over the rest of this holiday week as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: High Income from the Indiscriminate REIT Sell Off
We are sharing an attractive high-income-generating options trade on a compelling oversold big-dividend REIT. Our thesis is basically that big-dividend REITs in general are oversold as a result of near-term market noise. With the phase 1 US-China trade deal in place and the economy strong, investors are shedding “safety assets” like REITs, and buying “risky assets” like growth stocks. It’s still a fantastic environment for REITs with interest rates low (and the economy strong), and good REITs are being thrown out with the bathwater. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today, and potentially over the next few days as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: Very High Income and Growth, Following Sell Off
Concentrating all of your nest egg in a narrow range of investment types can result in unnecessary risks. As such, we like to share income generating opportunities from a range of strategies. The option trade we share today generates a huge amount of upfront income and is based on an “Income via Growth” stock. The shares are very attractive over the long-term, but they just sold off thereby making this trade timely and compelling.
New Options Trade: Royal Dutch Shell, Attractive High Income
Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B) is an integrated oil & gas company that offers a very safe dividend. The yield is currently a larger-than-normal 6.5% because the share price has underperformed the strong fundamentals of the business. The share price was down again last week (and it was down the whole month of November while the overall market sailed higher). This article describes an attractive income-generating options trade on Royal Dutch Shell that we believe is compelling to place today (and potentially over the next few days) as long at the price of RDS doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: Healthpeak Properties, Attractive High Income
We are sharing an attractive income-generating options trade that exists because of current market conditions. Healthpeak Properties (PEAK) is a healthcare REIT (formerly known as HCP) that is wisely and proactively taking steps to reduce its exposure to troubled senior housing through its new joint venture and focus on private pay. The shares sold off in the last month due to the uncertainty of the new joint venture announcement (as well as the Fed’s interest rate messaging change), which has created a very attractive opportunity. We believe this is an attractive high-income trade to place today, and potentially over the next few days, as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
