Description:
From Barron's 8-6-07:The Street's trading recommendations have less to do with traditional volatility trading, and more to do with fundamental analysis of stocks. Recommended strategies include selling puts on mega-caps (stocks with market values of at least $40 billion), selling calls and buying stock.
Michael Schwartz, Oppenheimer's chief options strategist, recommends selling slightly out-of-the-money calls against Dow industrial components to buy stocks at a potential discount. "Market swings are creating opportunities to sell richly priced options against stocks," Schwartz says. "Some premiums are as much as 100% more than you would normally receive for selling calls."
Returns range from 9.6% to 17%, with holding periods of up to about seven months. Some of the highest returns in his covered-call list include these stocks.
