The market is selling off hard—especially top growth stocks. It’s likely just a short-term breather—especially for the most attractive companies. Nonetheless, when fear increases (like it just has), volatility also increases—and that means more upfront premium income available in the options market. In this report, we review an attractive upfront income-generating options trade on a powerful long-term growth stock in the connected TV space. We believe the trade is attractive to place today—and potentially over the next few trading days—as long as the market doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
Palantir Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income
With the price pullback over the last month, and an earnings announcement coming up in less than two weeks, data analytics company Palantir, is setting up for a very interesting and very high upfront income generating options trade. We successfully implemented a similar Palantir trade at the end of November, but those contracts expired (quite profitably) on January 15, and conditions are again attractive for a similar trade. In this report, we review the trade details. We believe it’s an attractive trade to place today and potential over the next few trading days, as long as the price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

We write about one such company (that focuses on “dev ops”) in this report that completed its initial public offering in September, and the share price has been steadily reverting lower after an initial share price pop to more than double the IPO price. In particular we write about an attractive high income-generating options trade that also gives us a chance to pick up shares of this compelling company at an even lower price. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today—and potentially into early next week—as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, Attractive Chinese E-Commerce

This recently IPO’d business is very attractive. And the significant near-term volatility has given rise to an attractive high-income-generating options trade. The trade strategy sounds complex (i.e. “bullish vertical put spread”), but it’s not. It puts attractive upfront premium in your pocket today, it gives you a chance to pick up shares of this attractive stock at a lower price, and it gives you a little insurance on the downside (i.e. your max loss is limited).

New Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income, Intelligence Community Software Platform
We wrote about the attractive, yet somewhat speculative, opportunity in this newly public stock just over 1-week ago, and the shares have surged more than 50% since that report (i.e. they’ve climbed from $18 to $28). We still believe the shares are somewhat speculative here (especially at the higher price), but the extremely high upfront premium income available in the options market is hard to ignore.

New Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income, Big Sell-Off Creates Opportunity
Highly encouraging Covid-19 vaccine news was released on Monday, and the market reacted in dramatic fashion. For example, popular brick-and-mortar REITs that had been beaten down by the virus (such as SPG and WELL) gained (+27% and +21%, respectively), while social distancing tech stocks (such as ZM and DOCU) lost (-17% and -15%, respectively). However, some names have continued to sell off when they should not have, and we highlight one in particular in this report for an attractive income-generating options trade opportunity. We already own some shares of this name (we purchased them recently), but if you don’t own it (or you wouldn’t mind picking up more shares), you may want to consider this trade opportunity because it generates very high upfront premium income for you to keep, and it gives you a shot at owning shares of this attractive business at an even lower price.
New Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income, Bullish Vertical Put Spread, Chinese Internet Juggernaut
Just three weeks ago we wrote about the attractiveness of this stock, but warned of near-term volatility events at the start of November. One of those events has played out, drawing the share price lower. However, we believe the shares are now trading too low, and they could be driven even lower in the days ahead (as fearful investors panic). These conditions have given rise to this attractive options trade. The trade sounds complex (i.e. “bullish vertical put spread”), but it’s not. It puts attractive upfront premium in your pocket today, it gives you a chance to pick up shares of this attractive stock at a lower price, and it gives you a little insurance on the downside (i.e. your max loss is limited). We believe this is an attractive trade to place today—and potentially over the next few trading sessions—as long as the price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
New Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income, Huge Upside Potential
The world continues to change, and uncertainty and fear are currently high. These two broad factors have combined to create a very specific attractive opportunity to generate high upfront income and very large price appreciation potential. This small digital advertising company ($1 billion market cap) is in the right place at the right time (the intersection of disruption and volatility) thereby creating this very attractive option trade opportunity (plus, the $9 share price makes the “cash secured” part of this trade more palatable for some). In our view, this is an attractive trade to place today, tomorrow and potentially into early week (so long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then). You get to keep the attractive upfront premium income this trade generates (no matter what), and you may end up owning shares of an extremely attractive, long-term, small cap, disruptive-growth stock at a very compelling low price.
New Options Trade: 8.8% Yield Property REIT + Covered Call Income
This is an attractive long-term 8.8% yield property REIT trading at a compelling valuation, but the shares have rallied hard in recent weeks thereby creating this high-income options trade opportunity. Specifically, nervous investors may slow the short-term rally by taking profits, which is fine with us because we’d keep these attractive shares for the long-term and get paid the big dividend shortly after the options contract expires in just over 1-month from now. And if the shares do get called, that’s a 39-day gain of approximately 20%, not too bad at all. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today, and over the next few days, as long as the price of the underlying shares don’t move too far during that period.
Microsoft: New Options Trade, Another High Income Bullish Put Spread
The tech sell off is continuing this week, and cloud stocks continue to be among the very hardest hit. Microsoft has been rapidly growing its cloud business on a massive scale, and the shares have sold off considerably harder than the rest of the market in recent weeks. And this morning’s small news (Microsoft is paying $7.5 billion cash for game developer, Bethesda Softworks) has created more jitter among investors—perfect for this trade because to prevent Microsoft shares from eventually going higher in the long-term has about a snowflake’s chance in Gahenna. In report, we revisit the high-income-generating opportunity that current exists in bullish vertical put spreads on Microsoft (not as scary as it sounds). Our previous implementation of this strategy expired (quite successfully) on Friday, and the opportunity is again very attractive.
New Options Trade: Very High Upfront Income, Bullish Vertical Put Spread (The Cloud-Tech Sell-Off Continues)
Cloud and technology stocks are selling off hard again this morning, and a lot of investors are fearing there is a lot more selling to come. After all, it is cloud and tech stocks that have rallied so hard this year as their natural “social distancing” qualities have made them the beneficiaries of the dramatic pandemic rebound that has been going on for months.
However, the sell off has been indiscriminate (among cloud and tech), and some very attractive businesses are getting closer to trading at very attractive prices. In this report, we review an attractive cloud-tech juggernaut, and share an attractive options trade that utilizes a “bullish vertical put spread” (not as scary as it sounds). The trade lets you generate attractive upfront income, giving you the chance to pick up shares of this attractive business at an even lower price, while also limiting your downside risk (and limiting the amount of cash you need to set aside to secure the trade as compared to simply selling a naked put option). We believe this is a very attractive trade to place today, and potentially over the next few trading sessions.
Federal Realty Trust: Dividend Capture Covered Call Income
With the market on pace to wrap up its best August in 30 years, now presents an interesting opportunity to generate attractive upfront income with a dividend capture covered call option strategy on Federal Realty Investment Trust (FRT). This trade may sound daunting because FRT is in the highly challenged “retail REIT” industry, and because this option trading strategy is less common. However, we believe the trade is an attractive one to place today, and potentially over the next few days, as long as the underlying stock price doesn’t move too dramatically and you can get comfortable with the moving parts of this simple yet attractive opportunity. On an annualized basis, the trade will net us up to 17% extra income over the next 47 days.

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.
