[Options] Putting the Offense on the Field
With the NFL Playoffs getting underway this weekend (Go Bills!), it’s time we put the offense on the field!
I was kicking around a bullish idea in a consumer staples name during our Analyst meeting today. The chart looks great. The setup is good. We can position for a nice potential reward versus the risk we’d incur to put the trade on. Everyone agreed that its probably a good trade.
But… is it aggressive enough?
Answer: No, it’s not.
The thinking that emerged from our chat was that risk is back on in the stock market; therefore, we need to get into the most reasonably aggressive names we can. And one of the areas where risk is most definitely “on” is in the homebuilders sector.
If all we did was watch the evening news or listen to the inflation and interest rate scaremongers, we’d reasonably conclude that a long-term and painful bear market for real estate and housing in particular is a slam dunk. No contest.
If a severe real estate bear market was in the cards, would we be seeing homebuilders ripping of their recent lows the way we have over the past couple of months?

Recipe for Better Sleep: Lower Volatility + Higher Returns
In the Spring of 2022, JC came to me and said: “What do you think about managing an options income portfolio for me? I’m looking for some more strategy diversification in my portfolios. It doesn’t need to be anything sexy, just steady.”
Ok, I’m probably paraphrasing a bit, but that was the gist of his ask.
So I got to work on putting a plan together for him. When we looked at it together, it became obvious that we should offer this portfolio to the All Star Charts community who might also be interested in some further diversification. Even if people don’t take our trades, it could be a productive learning experience for everyone.
So we got to work and we launched the All Star Options Paid-to-Play (P2P) service in May 2022.
Each trading day, we either enter a new delta-neutral options credit spread in a liquid ETF (from a list of the most liquid Index and Sectors ETFs), or we play defense on an open position with an adjustment to put us in a better position to win. And we leave resting GTC (good-till-canceled) limit orders to close our credit spreads at profit targets which get filled periodically at the whim of the markets.
So far, so good.
