As we have discussed, the best percentage returns on short-put investments
|
||||
come from the sale of short-tenor ATM options. I find that each quarter there
|
||||
are excellent opportunities to find a fairly constant stream of this type of short-
|
||||
term bet that, when strung together in a portfolio, can generate annualized
|
||||
returns in the high-single-digit to low-teens percentage range. This level of
|
||||
returns—twice or more the yield recently found on a high-quality corporate
|
||||
bond portfolio and closer to the bond yield on highly speculative small com-
|
||||
panies with low credit ratings—is possible by investing in strong, high-quality
|
||||
blue chip stocks. In my mind, it is difficult to allocate much money to corpo-
|
||||
rate bonds when this type of alternative is available.
|
||||
Some investors prefer to sell puts on stocks that are not very vola-
|
||||
tile or that have had a significant run-up in price,
|
||||
4 but if you think about
|
||||
how options are priced, it is clear that finding stocks that the market
|
||||
perceives as more volatile will allow you to generate higher returns. Y ou
|
||||
can confirm this by looking at the diagrams of a short-put investment
|
||||
given two different volatility scenarios. First, a diagram in which implied
|
||||
volatility is low:
