Selling Options – is it the Holy Grail of Investments?
Option sellers believe that if it’s not, it’s pretty darn close. Probably the closest an investor will ever get to the long sought Holy Grail of Investments or what is considered to be the ideal investment.
Let’s take a look and see what exactly is regarded as the ideal investment. When asked to define what this is investors have various versions of what they consider to be the ideal investment or the Holy Grail of Investments. In the ultimate analysis, with few exceptions, most investors feel that an ideal investment should provide the following qualities: safety of capital, consistent high returns, immunity from economic and market fluctuations and finally, liquidity, or availability of funds should the investor find an immediate need to tap his resources. Safety of capital and high returns seem to be the most desirable of all yet these two are totally opposing qualities in any investment. As the saying goes, the higher the risk, the greater the reward or inversely, the lower the risk the smaller the reward.
That said let’s explore our choices. Until the advent of options there appeared to be nothing that came even close to being called an ideal investment let alone be called the Holy Grail of Investments. We had to face the fact that investments were either low risk low reward or high risk high reward. Some investments were somewhere in the middle ground but few or none were in the Holy Grail category. Investors may be classified into two groups, passive and active investors. Passive investors prefer entrusting their capital to third parties and doing nothing more than expect returns from their investments either on a regular basis or value appreciation over time. They put their money into a fixed return instrument such as passbook savings accounts, money market funds, treasury bills, certificates of deposits, bonds and included in this lot are dividend paying stocks and mutual funds. Then there are the other passive investors that prefer to place funds into long term appreciation assets with capital growth as their main goal. Examples of these types of investments would be real estate, precious metals, arts and antiques. All these investment instruments while delivering small returns on a year-on-year basis do offer much safety of capital.
The active investor on the other hand is a more adventurous individual. He seeks high returns for his money, hopefully at reduced risk, by actively being involved in trading the markets, be it real estate, stocks, bonds, commodities, futures, foreign exchange, options or whatever else can be traded and made money on. Although more of a risk taker he nevertheless tries to moderate his risk exposure by restraining his profit objectives or rates of return on his capital. While passive investors are happy with annual returns of 6 to 10 percent, active investors seek higher rates of over 12 percent and more like in the region of 14 to 18 percent per annum. Is this doable? Yes, it is and many are happy actively trading the markets and achieving these returns using their own trading techniques that somewhat controls risk to an acceptable degree. Now here’s the shocker. Option traders are able to generate annual profits in excess of 20 percent without exposing themselves to any more risk that those achieving 14 percent. Now here is an even greater shocker. Among those that trade options the ones specializing on the selling side generate annual returns in excess of 30 percent with many averaging annual returns in the region of 40 to 50 percent without increasing the risk factor any more than the passive investor!
Foreign currency traders as well as commodities and futures traders sneeze at this claim saying that they can outshine the option seller in annual returns. True. But can they claim to do so at the same risk level as the passive investors? Most probably not.
Selling options (stocks, commodities, futures, etc) has become for many the Holy Grail of Investments. To the experienced option seller this trading strategy offers high, consistent returns, a fair degree of immunity against economic and market fluctuations, liquidity, and finally safety of capital. This last claim may be open to debate from non-believers in this trading strategy. To be fair let’s qualify the safety claim by saying that the inexperienced option seller is open to potentially heavy losses if he does not know what he is doing. But to the seasoned trader selling options is a safe investment strategy delivering all the qualities of an ideal investment to the point where successful option sellers claim to have found what to them is the closest one can ever get to the Holy Grail of Investments. Selling options on stocks, which is the specialty of this writer, can be particularly rewarding using a carefully planned trading system combined with disciplined money management and with proper safeguards in place. There are many trading strategies in selling options. Some are simple enough, like the covered call technique, delivering fairly decent returns while others are more complex but more rewarding. There is one option selling system developed by this writer that can be carried out as a long term investment program offering a fair degree of safety and delivering consistent high returns time after time. By using a carefully planned, three-pronged system of trading, the risks associated with selling options can easily be conquered. This writer has mastered this three-pronged trading technique and anyone wishing more information may visit his web site at http://www.theoptionseller.com.

Have you seen this creepy listing yet on eBay about exorcism?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110260546112&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=001
I e-mailed the seller about this ad and aksed him "if this item is real, then why is the starting bid at $24.99?" His answer, "Ebay fees were too high for $99.99.
Here is part of the listing.
These 3 Antique Holy Bible Cedar Boxes supposedly once contained the bibles used during the exorcism of a formerly demonically possessed woman during the 1950's or 1960's. According to legend, a local priest was called in the middle of the night to 1121 W 38th St in Anderson, Indiana to perform an exorcism. During the ritual, the priest removed a bible from each of the Cedar Boxes and used them during the ceremony. Witnesses have claimed that the ritual did not work during the first two attempts; however, something shocking happened during the third attempt. A bolt of lightning flew from the woman's body and struck one cedar box causing the box to crack.
See for yourself!
Creepy or not, the price is always set by the Seller. If he hopes that the price will go up (or,as stated, he is trying to save money on initial listing fees) then the starting price is immaterial. It is the final value price which makes the most difference.
Are they real? This is anyone's guess. Creepy or not the guy could be telling the truth, or could be making up a great story for the readers to become bidders. You have no way of knowing. This is just another in the long line of interesting auctions (or well written auctions) on Ebay.
